In Tears Bereaved
by Dark Tranquillity
from the album Skydancer
tabbed by Ken Hoffmeyer (TheOldMansChild@aol.com)
I have my guitar tuned to Eb (all down 1/2 step), although DT might play it
in another tuning. I know most DT stuff is in this tuning though.
ALMOST ALL OF THE SONG IS TREMOLO PICKED!!!
I know many parts could be played on multiple strings to make it easier
(such as Riff B), but I like the sound of the wound strings better so I usually
stay on the lower strings. Simply move the notes if you want. The timing in the
tab is VERY approximated, listen to the song and figure it out yourself.
I spaced the notes out for a very general idea to help you along. I hope the position
in seconds will be very helpful as I have always found it to be. Also, the first
35 seconds is REALLY confusing with timing so be careful. Riff J has a harmony that I am
too lazy to figure out, and I left out a part that is too hard to hear around the 3:00 mark.
But hey, it's better than nothing, right!? I only proofread this once, could be errors still. Oh, and I recommend viewing this in notepad at 1024x768 resolution or higher to make sure the lines don't wrap.

2:35-3:11...Figure this out for yourself! Three guitars goin at one point but I can't hear them well.
Repeat Riff J 2x (3:11)
Repeat Riff D 2x (3:27)
Repeat Riff A 2x (3:38)...Read below for details...
At 3:38, play Riff A VERY QUICKLY with endings 1 and 2, except add an open D string to the end,
so the final ending look like this...
