Iced Earth: Watching Over Me transcribed by: Russ Elton (vicelton@yahoo.com) FIND EVERY ICED EARTH SONG AND THE MOST UPDATED VERSION OF THIS SONG AT: The Frozen Palace http://truemetal.org/icedearth/ Date last modified: 1/1/01 PLEASE DO NOT COPY THIS TAB TO ANOTHER SITE WITHOUT AUTHORS' PERMISSION. THANK YOU. Tuning: Eb Note: For Riff 2 and the first bar of Riff 3, I've put the live album version because I like it better. On the studio CD, the second chord in these riffs is just a normal Cb power chord instead of what's listed here.
