Sole Survivor

Helloween

Tom: G

Hi folks. My name is Eduardo Kepczynski and this is my first tab ever.
I had expend many hours listening to this song and trying to play it.
There is little differences between the live and the studio version.
I´m sure it´s not perfect, but it was the most i could do.
It will help everyone who wants to play this awesome song.
Feel free to add some hammer on, pull off and palm mute. Improvisation rules.
Sorry, the solo is missing.

Tune down 1/2 step.

Any doubt or corrections, please send me an e-mail at

I´ll apreciate.


PM = Palm Mute
~ = Vibrato
h = Hammer on
p = Pull off
\ = Slide down
/ = Slide up
b = Bend
rb = Release Bend

Lyrics

I got that fever
Burning my head
So many memories
No tear to shed
Burns like a fire
Who stole my aims?
My comrade fighters
Been sent astray

How could i know
What others had in mind for me?
How would they know
What measures i take?

Sole survivor
Of a kill without alert
Sing your feelings out
Your songs remains unheard
Sole survivor

We shared like brothers
A light in the black
Totally blended
Bold and erect
But we´ve grown intriguers
Till it´s too late
Time has brought fire
Fear, greed and hate

Now I´m cryin´
Shattered on the ground
All I find
Has died anyway

Sole survivor
Of a kill without alert
Sing your feelings out
Your songs remains unheard
Sole survivor
Got a voice without a sound
Mean mistreaters
Took away your ground
Sole survivor




HAPPY HAPPY HELLOWEEN !!!
