I tabbed this cause I like this song. As simple as that. And I like tapping
and this song is basically 80% tapping so I decided I would give it a try.
I have included two guitars (one for the original part and one for the
Octave part). Good luck. And since there really isn't any Verse/Chorus
separation, I just separated the parts in Intro part A, Intro part B, Intro
part C, Verse 1, Interlude, Verse 2, Bridge, [Solo part A, Solo part B,
Solo part C, Solo part D], Verse 3, Outro. Once again, good luck guys. Oh
and this tab is 99% accurate gauranteed.
[The solo is complicated so I separated it for your convenience]
Oh and I don't think I did good on the lyrics, so don't count it against me.
NOTE:
* Tapping is just like holding down a fret with one hand (left)
and "Tapping" a higher fret on the same string with you other hand (right).
For example:
Fives are held with left, and higher frets are tapped by right|-5-7-5-8-5-9-5-6-5-7-5-8-5-8-5-7-5-6-||-------------------------------------||-------------------------------------||-------------------------------------||-------------------------------------||-------------------------------------|
It is basicly fast hammer ons and pull offs. *
NOW let's get started!
Legend:
T | Tap note
h | Hammer on to
p | Pull off to
/ | Slide up to
\ | Slide down to
. | Palm mute
~ | Held note
b | Bend to

Verse 2:
Guitar 1 and 2 play the following.
Same format as the first Verse.
G5
You know that silence
F5
Is not our middle name
G5 F5
Can you recognize the game
D#5 D5
Step into the gate and
D#5 D5
Grasp the hand of fate
G5 F5
Its a time machine, a devils dream
G5 F5
And yet its in your grasp
D#5 D5
Legends of the past
D#5 D5
Can you hear the Banshee scream
G5
Banshee howling in the city
F5
Means a knight has died
G5 F5
For what reason, for what glory
D#5 D5
Who knows for what pride
D#5 D5
Country king or criminal
G5 F5
War or vengeance, what the Hell?
G5 F5
Death is all the same
D#5 D5
If he died in shame or Honor
D#5 D5
Who on Earth can tell?
