The Velocity of Saul at the Time of His Conversion
tabbed by Jason Kientz

Standard tuning

This is a great song and it isn't hard to play but its a
little confusing to write down.  So Basically i put the 
more detailed tabbing in the middle of the song right 
before you play it for the first time.  Listen to the 
song for the rhythm.  The chords above the words are only 
there so that you will know where you are supposed to be 
with the tabs.  You should be plaing on eof the tabed riffs
at all times during the song.  

Enjoy!

 Hold your head higher the heavenly choir is settling in for the night,

 four hours of vision exchanged for four hours of fright,

    and all our best laid plans... well they crumbled in our hands,

 our flags fell where they'd fanned,
