"Devil's Path" as performed by Dimmu Borgir on their 1996 mini "Devil's Path" Normal Tuning (EADGBe) Intro riff / Riff 1. I'm not sure how many times the A5 chords is hit but if you just listen to the song and play the riff you "feel" it. Downstroke the chords and tremolo pick the notes. Play 7 times. 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 e|------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------| G|o----------------------------------o| D|o-222222222222222210---9---9-7-6---o| A|--0000000000000000------------------| E|------------------------------------| Vocals enter 3th time: Never shall the sun kiss my face And caress me with it's burning light For I dwell in the shadows And sleep side by side with death In dark desire I embrace the whore Giving her an escape from an unworthly life For with the appearance of a fallen angel (1:00) Riff 2 w/tremolo picking 1__________|2, 3, 4___| 1 e 2 e 3 e 4 e 1 e 2 e 3 e 4 e 1 e 2 e 3 e 4 e 1 e 2 e | 3 e 4 e | 3 e 4 e e|-----------------------------------------------------------|-----------|----------||-----| B|-----------------------------------------------------------|-----------|----------||-----| G|o----------------------------------------------------------|----------o|---------o||-----| D|o----------------------------------------------------------|----------o|---------o||-----| A|---10------7-------9---10--9---7---10------7-------9-------|-14121415--|-10--12---||-12~-| E|-----------------------------------------------------------|-----------|----------||-----| I serve darkness (1:36) Riff 3.
