---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- on and on until

then
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----2/4-444-99--------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/a/akira_yamaoka/silent_hill_theme_tab.html ]
now you start riff 2 over but with a third guitar/mandolin/piano playing this
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--2/4-444-9-7-5-4------------------------------------------------------------

riff 3/solo
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--777777-55-77777--1010---777777-55-33---777777-55-77777-1010--12------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
then
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------4--------5----------4--------7----------------------------------------- repeat about 6 times
------4---4----5---5-----4----4---7---7---------------------------------------
---2--------3----------2----------5---------------------------------------------

--------------------888888-77777--888-7-5---888888-777777-5555---
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don’t know about the background, its just like the james bond sounding beginning of this part
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------888888--1212-1010-888-444-55-777----
-------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------
this is really just repeated in variation throughout the rest of the song, though the violin part sounds like this
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------8888-101010-888-77--------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
then the violin plays that, and the original 1st riff is played along with the solo
that’s about it, some is probably wrong, it was all tabbed out by ear. So you can buy the
correct sheet music and tab that, or you can email me at exodusm2000@hotmail.com
