Anvil 'Race Against Time' from the album 'Still Going Strong' (2002, Massacre Records) For comments, corrections and crazy ***: guy@freemail.hammerfall.net Tabbed by: Vortigern Tuning: the song was tabbed in D, but it could be a different tuning. h: hammer on *: palm mute b: bend Riff 1 |-11-9-8--11-10-8--12-11-9-8-| |----------------------------| |----------------------------| |----------------------------| |----------------------------| |----------------------------| Ok, so I'm not too sure about this high pitched bit, but hey, I'm only human. Riff 2 |--------------------------| |--------------------------| |--------------------------| |--------------------------| |-7--5-4-3-2---------------| |-5--3-2-1-0---------------| Comes in when first bit has been played about three times. Riff 3 |--------------------------| |--------------------------| |--------------------------| |--------------------------| |-2-3-5-7-8----------------| |-0-1-3-5-6----------------| Basically, this is the ending of riff 2. Riff 4, main riff |----------------------------| |----------------------------| |----------------------------| |-------9----9----9----9-----| |-0h5h8-7----7----7----7-----| |---------00---00---00-------| ** ** ** This bit first then 4a. Endings are the same. Riff 4a |---------------------------| |---------------------------| |---------------------------| |-------9-----9-----9-----9-| |-0h5h8-7-----7-----7-----7-| |---------000---000---000---| *** *** *** first ending |--------------------------| |--------------------------| |--------------------------| |--------------------------| |-8b-----------------------| |--------------------------| second ending |--------------------------| |--------------------------| |--------------------------| |-7------------------------| |-5-8----------------------| |---6----------------------| Riff 5 |--------------------------| |--------------------------| |-------------10-----------| |-7-9-10---10----10--------| |-5-7-8--------------------| |--------------------------| first ending |--------------------------| |--------------------------| |--------------------------| |--------------------------| |-8-7-5--------------------| |-6-5-3--------------------| second ending |--------------------------| |--------------------------| |--------------------------| |--------------------------| |-5-7-8----8--8--8---------| |-3-5-6----6--6--6---------| repeat riff 4 repeat riff 5 Riff 6 |--------------------------| |--------------------------| |--------------------------| |----2---------------------| |-2----2-1-xx-2------------| |-0--------xx-0------------| Over this the second guitar plays this bit I think one octave higher. Riff 7 |----------------------------| |----------------------------| |-4-7-5-9-7-10---------------| |-2-5-3-7-5-8----------------| |----------------------------| |----------------------------| One guitar plays this while other does solo-ish bit. Repeat riff 4 Repeat riff 5 Repeat riff 4 But the ending of riff 4 here sometimes becomes this: |--------------------------| |--------------------------| |--------------------------| |--------------------------| |-10-----------------------| |--------------------------| Just listen to the song for this. The sequence is: ending 1, ending 2, ending 1, this one, ending 3. This also has the second solo. From then on riff 4 first goes faster and faster, with more palm muted 0's on the E and finally grinds to a halt. That's it!
