Iced Earth: My Own Savior transcribed by: Vassilis Androutsopoulos (Billy_270@hotmail.com) edited by: Russ Elton (webmaster@abysslord.com) solo by: Ryan Snider (Phantom3314@cs.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: February 10, 2005 PLEASE DO NOT COPY THIS TAB TO ANOTHER SITE WITHOUT AUTHORS' PERMISSION. THANK YOU. Tuning: Eb NOTE: For this riff, the ending single notes are struck like artificial harmonics, but so slight that I didn't even mark them as such. The G note at the very end is normal however.
