• Song:

    Heavens A Lie

  • Artist:

    Lacuna Coil

Tuning: 7-String Standard (B, E, A, D, G, B, E)

I've omitted the high E string for this tab since I don't have a 7-string and since you don't need one to play this song. I tried to do this in order, so hopefully it won't be hard to follow.

Key:

h = Hammer-on
p = Pull-off
P.M. = Palm Mute
_ = Rest
/ or  = Legato Slide

*This riff is harder than hell to hear, and I think the other guitar may be playing something else over it (possibly a harmony), but this is the best I could decipher

*This riff can also be heard accompanying Riff 2 in the pre-chorus

*One guitar lets this chord ring out while the other plays Riff 1


If you think a couple chords in the chorus and pre-chorus sound "weird", listen to the CD really closely and you'll see (hear) they aren't just plain root/5th power chords. However, if you feel more comfortable playing standard power chords in their place, feel free to do so. I really tried to get this is close as I possibly could, and maybe with the exception of Riff 3, this should be fairly accurate. By the way, this band OWNS! I suggest you check out their other CDs if you haven't yet.
