Iced Earth: V transcribed by: Russ Elton (webmaster@abysslord.com) FIND EVERY ICED EARTH SONG AND THE MOST UPDATED VERSION OF THIS SONG AT: The Frozen Palace http://abysslord.com/icedearth/ Date last modified: 10/20/11 PLEASE DO NOT COPY THIS TAB TO ANOTHER SITE WITHOUT AUTHORS' PERMISSION. THANK YOU. Tuning: Eb NOTE: For this riff throughout the song, I'm pretty sure one guitar only plays the notes on the A string, while the others play the open E string with them. On a live video it looks pretty clear that Jon is playing only the A string for those notes, but on the studio there's definitely an open E note with all of them. So if you're playing with one guitar, play the chords with an uppick so the notes on the 'A' string sound out more like on the album. Otherwise, play it as follows: Riff 1 Guitar 1 eb|-----------------------------| Bb|-----------------------------| Gb|-----------------------------| Db|-----------------------------|
