Powerman 5000 - When Worlds Collide

      
I noticed that there are no 5-star versions of this song so i figured i'd tab it the 100% correct way.
Tuning is drop half step down.
I wont put lyrics, they will only kill you in the end.
Intro
Synth arr. for guitar. use bar for vibrato on each octave.

Then some pick slides for half measure.
