White Masque
by Running Wild
Taken from the album
Blazon Stone
Transcribed by Mikko Issakainen

I hope you'll understand my writings because I didn't want to write
everything in tab. Those chord parts and some simple riffs are marked
with '/'. They take much less space now but I hope it doesn't become
unreadable. Tempo is about 172... but it's not exact. Tune guitars
1 halfsteps down. I also used the 'fake' chord names, so you'll have
to bring them down one halfstep with normally tuned guitar.
All comments are welcome!
-------------------
H = Hammer on, P = Pull off, Ah = Artificial harmonic, -3- = triol
' = bend, F = Full

During this figure Gtr1 is palm muted and it plays only singe notes;
for example D means the 5th fret from the 5th string.

The shap biting chill id freezing their breaths
But the tottering coach is beating its path
