Song: Cry of The Banshee
Artist: Brocas Helm
Album: Defender of The Crown

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.
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 100% accurate
guaranteed.
[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.
BIG UPDATE! (1/8/11)
- Feeling like a total idiot about a year after I tabbed this, I realized
there is no guitar 2... So I re-did this whole tab to remove the second
guitar. Sorry it took me so long TO REALIZE guys.
- Added the missing part of the solo at about 2:20, the tab is now 100%
complete.
