Dm (gtr D5) C(5)

The first half of the main riff
4th verse (now melody chords with fills)
[Dm]Kill to live and [C]live to die
[Dm]Human nature[F] you let the [Gm]strong survive
1/2 of the usual riff...
2nd riff and top 4 string chords as above
[A]Oh don't talk to me of love
Be [Bb]serious[C/E] it's not en[Dm]ough
Annihi[Bb/D]lation [Dm]kill them [C]al[Bb]l
[Dm] Capitulation [C]watch the m[Bb]igh[C]ty [Dm]fall
The road to [Bb/D]glory [Dm]is lined in [Bb]red[C]
[Dm]And though the [C]reason now is [Bb]gone [G][Gm]
The battle rages on
Guitar solo
(organ plays chords)
IE5 I I I I
IH5 IG5 IH5 IA5 H5I
Guitar & org power chords:
(D bass throughout)
D F G Bb C Eb F G (fill)
(let ring)
G! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
X X X XD D X X X D X W W X X X X X XX X X
! ! ! !
X X X XW W X X X X X
(!basic beat Xstrum Dlh damped strum Wless powerful strum)
(transcribed approximately especially this strumming part)
Second riff twice:
1st time kbd-gtr-kbd-gtr
2nd time unisono + chainsaw fills from 2nd gtr
Annihilation....as played earlier with gtr licks in 10th position...
THE END
[D](o[(bass)]rg chord progressions)
Gtr riff n+1 times
the last bar of the main riff x 3 times
ending the last time in high D (7th fret on B-stiring)
the first bar of the main riff
and that's the song
Gtr fill #1
some do not
G-(7)^9r75
All right! Here we are. I sincerely hope that even somebody finds
this simple transcription useful.
Especially in the main riff I was having real difficulties, but my
dear friend Antti "Donald" Kauppinen gave me some valuable clues
(Thanks a Million!!)...There's something still indistinct but those
parts are marked with ''?'s.
Because I usually play keyboards, I wasn't skilled enough to
transcribe the solo. Also some fills I left off to save my brain &
time & fellowmen :) Maybe somebody will let us know the secrets of
Ritchie's fill & solo playing.
The tab isn't perfect (stranger) but who cares' Flames, corrections
and thanks more than welcome!
If someone thinks this was a cool piece of work or something like
that PLEASE LET ME KNOW! Email or write a follow-up! This was
actually my first attempt on transcribing so you understand that
feedback is important.
Keep on rocking!
