[Disclaimer:  All basses and guitars tuned half-step down.  All chords used 
              are power chords (e.g., C# is -x-4-6-6-x-x-) unless otherwise
              indicated.  These fan-authored transcriptions offer the basic
              chords and structure of the songs, and are not complete scores.
              Although some transcriptions may not have distinct parts for 
              each instrument, all are written for both bass and guitar.]

Notes:  During the verse riff, there is a second guitar playing palm-muted
        low E notes.  During the chorus, this guitar plays palm-muted low E
        chords (-0-2-2-x-x-x-) at the slower tempo.  In both instances, the
        rhythm guitar is essentially doubling the bass.

THE VIOLET FIRE
===============
transcription: Tom Mallon, Misfits Central

Notes:  Many variations of the riffs are used throughout the song, but each
        follows the basic riff that has been transcribed.  Artificial
        harmonics and bends are used to accentuate the riffs.  During the
        verse, the bass plays the D note (third string, fifth fret); during
        the solo, the bass plays the F# note (fourth string, second fret).
        The start of the song uses a D/F# chord (-2-0-0-2-3-2-).
