The Dark Saga Tab by Iced Earth


from the album The Dark Saga

                        tabbed by Rob Hartzog

I will start off by saying that as Iced Earth songs go, this one is pretty easy, 
with the exception of the rhythm parts in triplets. I can?t quite nail those yet 
(they?re FAST!). I?m pretty confident in the fact that the tab is correct, if they?re 
not, shoot me.  Sending any corrections in would also be helpful.  Enjoy!
By the way, all guitars are tuned down a 1/2 step:  

6=Eb 5=Ab 4=Db 3=Gb 2=Bb 1=Eb
