Some explanations:
1.For the intro and RIFF 7 you must fret the low E string on the 1st
fret, prebend a whole step and then release (that's what the R means).
2.Blank columns (as in Riff 1) do not count in timing. They are used 
only to distinguish the tab numbers.
3.p=p
ull-off h=hammer on

Song flow and lyrics:

[Intro] X3
[Riff 1] X2
w/Riff 2
Has he lost his mind? Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all? Or if he moves will he fall?
[Riff 1]
w/Riff 2
Is he 'live or dead? Has he thoughts within his head?
We'll just pass him there. Why should we even care?
[Riff 3]
[Riff 1] X2
w/Riff 2
He was turned to steel in a great magnetic field
Where he traveled time for the future of mankind
w/Riff 4
Nobody wants him. He just stares at the world
[Riff 5]
w/Riff 4
Planning his 
vengeance that he will soon unfold
[Riff 5]
[Riff 1] X2
w/Riff 2
Now the time is here for Iron Man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave kills all the people he once saved
w/Riff 4
Nobody wants him. They just turn their heads
[Riff 5]
w/Riff 4
Nobody hepls him. Now he has his revenge
[Riff 5]
{Double Time}
[Riff 6] X2
[Solo 1]
[Riff 6] X2
{Half Time}
[Riff 5] X2
[Riff 1] X2
w/Riff 2
Heavy bolts of lead, fills his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can, Iron Man lives again
[Riff 3]
{Double Time
. Bass enters}
[Riff 7] X2
[Riff 8A] X2
[Solo 2]

Marilyn Manson "Coma White" (Acoustic Cover By Brevalan)
If you like it, SUBSCRIBE, rate and comment! There is more covers to come! Thank you! :) After "The Nobodies", I discovered that song! I decided to cover it and to make it in a sad way! I'm not trying at all to sound like Marilyn Manson, just my own way! I hope you will like it! :) Si vous aimez, cliquez sur le bouton "S'ABONNER", notez et laissez un commentaire ! Merci ! :) Après "The Nobodies", j'ai découvert cette chanson ! J'ai décidé de la reprendre et de la rendre bien plus triste ! Je n'essaie pas le moins du monde de sonner comme Marilyn Manson, juste de le faire à ma manière ! J'espère que vous aimerez ! :) LYRICS : There's something cold and blank behind her smile She's standing on an overpass In her miracle mile You were from a perfect world A world that threw me away today Today to run away A pill to make you numb A pill to make you dumb A pill to make you anybody else But all the drugs in this world Won't save her from herself Her mouth was an empty cut And she was waiting to fall Just bleeding like a polaroid that Lost all her dolls You were from a perfect world A world that threw me away today Today to run away A pill to make you numb A pill to make you dumb A pill to make you anybody else But all the drugs in this world Won't save her from herself A pill to make you numb A pill to make you dumb A pill to make you anybody else But all the drugs in this world Won't save her from herself
