Artist: Marilyn Manson 
Song: The Beautiful People 
Album: Antichrist Superstar 
Transcribed by: Matt Messatzzia ([email protected]) 

After seeing all the horrible (and incorrect) transcriptions of this song on the internet, I had to make a correct one. So this one's for all the people who suffered from confusion, by other tabs! 

Low to high: D, A, D, G, B, E.  
Effects: Overdrive and Distortion are a big plus. Try to get as little sustain on the chorus and verse riffs as possible.

***Just as a little note, if you play The Beautiful People backwards, he says "I'm evil believe it" when he would normally said "The beautiful people". Just thought I should share that***
