Tabbed by Lord Upir (arjanbarman@hotmail.com) on 19 December 1998
Tabbing this took as long as the song lasts.
I haven't added the times in the song. Sorry...

Normal tuning (EADGBe)

Total time (on the live album): 4:50
I think this song is the fastest (and simplest) from this great black 
metal band from Sweden. The inlay booklet of Live in Germany is very 
cool, guys.

I've never tabbed a song with this much pleasure, cos...

This song could win the "simplest song" award or something. It uses
only four riffs (!!!), which are played by both guitars. No solo, no 
shit, nothing. Is there a song which is more simple?!?

The two tricks with this song are that is played that fucking fast
that you're right arm is getting very very tired and you'll have to
remember how many times and when every riff is played, because there
is simply no time to check it...
