Phew this is quite a song. The intro gave me trouble
but I gave it some time and finally got it right.

This is a very melodic song and is played fast in most
areas. Practice hard and have fun.

This song is about Russian Roulette and deals with suicide. But the odds are five to one, not six to one. One chamber is full, the other five are empty.

Nope, the odds are definately six to one. There are six chambers in the pistol and therefore six possible outcomes. Only one outcome will prove to be fatal (the chamber which carries the live bullet) and therefore the chance of dying is one in six, which can be described as a six to one chance. ;)
