Welcome To Dying Chords & Tabs
W E L C O M E T O D Y I N G
BY BLIND GUARDIAN / TOKIO TALES
TRANSCRIBED BY : Dennis "SPEED OF LIGHT" Riedner
This song is worked out for the lead guitar (Andre Olbrich)
But I think it should be no problem to figure out the rythm...
I don`t give the correct number of notes during the `MOTORSAW` - parts,
I think you should play so well, that you manage this with your rythm-feeling!

INTRO :
Easy, isn`t it?
Just figure out the scramblin` rythm durin` the
percussive rakes (the x-es)
VERSE 1 :
No problem, just listen to the song for timing!
LEAD 1 :
Easy too!
VERSE 2 :
Just play the main riff the FIRST time with the FIRST ending and
the SECOND time with the SECOND ending! GOT IT?
CHORUS :
Yeah, it is realy difficult to stroke these powerchords...
VESRE 3 :
Listen to the song, don`t know if it is correct, but it should be close!
VERSE 4 :
Practice this part carefully, I am sure it is played so high on the neck,
coz I have seen this song live, and watched at Andre`s guitar!
SOLO :
Hmm... what should I say???
I think it is an easy but a good solo, mail me, if I had writen some shit
down there!!!!
At the end, I had tabbed down Marcus part, coz maybe some of you would
like to have it !
VERSE 5 :
It`s like Verse 2, but it starts 2 chords later!
VESRE 6 :
no comment!
VERSE 7 :
A real good end, isn`t it?
