The End and the Beginning
Drop D

I borrowed some of the lyrics from lyricstime.com, so thank you to them
Notes: BE HEAVY.

Great Song, I would suggest using for the closing song of a Mass, or for a fast song to 
celebrate with after Adoration.

Obviously this song requires a lot of up strokes.
It's fast and require a pinkie block chord reach for the Bm.
Otherwise there are only 4 main parts in the song and once you learn those and their 
order it's pretty easy.
I listed the song as intermediate only because it's technical if you're singing while 
playing, otherwise it really isn't that difficult for one with the sole duty of electric guitar
This tab is about as accurate as it gets, though comment or contact me if you find problems!
