/ Creed / I think this song is about a boy telling about this girl, who
/ Beautiful / seduces every man with her tempting appearance. He tells about
/ Human Clay / how he dreamed of her, how he passionately wanted to have her
/____________/ - and how he eventually was fooled.
Mainly (the exception is the solo) the song is actually only played by two
guitars switching distortion on and off with distortion pedals. The most common
way of recording guitars today is to record each sound separately, so this is a
rare sight. I’ve marked a switch with vertical lines of stars in the tab charts
- you won’t miss them.
When there’s only those two guitars, I’ve omitted to write Gtr I, II above every
line in the tabs, so when two connected lines are written, Gtr I (right speaker)
is playing the top line, while Gtr II (left speaker) is playing the bottom line,
and when only one line is written, both the guitars are playing that part. In
the solo I’ve of course marked the guitars properly to avoid confusion.
Gtr I, II (D A D G B E) – Electric Clean/Heavily Distorted
Gtr III (D A D G B E) – Electric Overdriven

She wears a coat of colour
Loved by some, feared by others
She’s immortalized in young men’s eyes
Lust she breeds in the eyes of brothers
Violent sons make bitter mothers
So close your eyes, here’s your surprise
In your mind she’s your companion
Vile instincts often candid
Your regret is all that’s left
The beautiful is empty
Beautiful is free
Beautiful loves no one
Beautiful stripped me
Stripped me
Stripped me
She stripped me
She told me where I’m going
And it's far away from home
I think I'll go there on my own
