 BEFORE THE DAWN
  Judas Priest
 (From the 1978 Album KILLING MACHINE (HELL BENT FOR LEATHER IN THE USA))


Gtr I (E A D G B E) - 'Acoustic'
Gtr II (E A D G B E) - 'Lead guitar(overdriven guitar)'

Slow number of Judas Priest,very weird indeed for them, but I like it

 
 b   - bend
 r   - bend release (if no number after the r, then release immediately)
 /   - slide into (from)
 \   - slide out of (/to "nowhere")
 S   - shift slide
  - natural harmonic
[n]  - artificial harmonic
 ~   - vibrato
 =   - hold bend; also acts as connecting device for hammers/pulls
 ()  - still ringing the previous note.

Lyrics:

Before the dawn, I hear you whisper
In your sleep "don’t let the morning take him"
Outside the birds begin to call
As if to summon up my leaving

It’s been a lifetime since I found someone
Since I found someone who would stay
I’ve waited too long, and now you’re leaving
Oh please don’t take it all away

It’s been a lifetime since I found someone
Since I found someone who would stay
I’ve waited too long, and now you’re leaving
Oh please don’t take it all away

Before the dawn, I hear you whisper
In your sleep "don’t let the morning take him"
