HAIL TO THE KING
[INTRO] (RIFF)
[Verse]
Em D
Watch your tongue or have it cut from your head
Em D
Save your life while keeping whispers unsaid
Em D
Children roam the streets now orphans of war
Em D
Bodies hanging in the streets to adore
Am C Am G
Royal flames will carve a path in chaos
Am C Am G
Bringing daylight to the night
Bm D Bm A
Death is riding in the town with armour
Bm D Bm A
They've come to take all your rights
[Chorus]
Em D C D
Hail to the king Hail to the one
Em D C D
Kneel to the crown Stand in the sun
Hail to the king
[Verse]
Em D
Blood is spilt while holding keys to the throne
Em D
Born again but it's too late to atone
Em D
No mercy from the edge of the blade
Em D
They'll escape and learn the price to be paid
Am C Am G
Let the water flow with shades of red now
Am C Am G
Arrows blackout all the light
Bm D Bm A
Death is riding in the town with armour
Bm D Bm A
They've come to grant you your rights
[Chorus]
[SOLO] Em Em D B7 (x2)
Em Em A D G D B7 B7
Em B7 Am Em Bm Em Bm Bm (x2)
[BRIDGE] (RIFF)
There's a taste of fear
When the henchmen call
I am fierce to tame it
I am fierce to claim it all
[CHORUS] (x2)
[OUTRO] (RIFF)

Oh and no vibrato or bending will suck the blues right out of the phrasing. Just hammer pull and slide. Harmonic harmonics harmonics

Can somebody tell me whether it's possible to improvise to this in the major pentatonic scale or if other scales work better?
