Hello, maybe it's a bit early to make a tab of this song because the album is not in stores
yet it's only a single! :) but i was just curious
to try finding the right chords because i think this is really good track, and also i think
that some people would enjoy to play it using this tab.
Sorry but i am not a good tabber, this is my first official attempt, the tempo is not accurate
but the notes i think are pretty correct! : )
 
I created this tab using a Standard D tuning because usually opeth tabs (in D, like
of the fall, ghost of perdition and others) are in Drop D or Open D tuning and
it's a bit crap changing the tune of the guitar
everytime so i made it playable on a normal D tuning :) !
 
v= vibrato
h= hammer on
p= pull off
s= slide

Aw Dudes, lay off of this dude, yeah the tab may not be perfect but atleast he's actually tried, i mean c'mon, it hasnt bene out on single for too long let alone album, so If u think u cn do better for a first attempted then please do, fags.
Sorry, Savre, but if you check the high definition video correcly, you can see that the acoustic (at least) is in standard tuning. As i watched Mike play, i copied his finger movements in my acoustic (tuned in standard) and the notes were the same.
i know i made some mistakes that i just fixed, hope that the update will be up soon! I am not awsome in english so i will re-explain: some songs are in drop D (demon of the fall ecc..) and in Open D (ghost of perdition ecc..) and needs the guitar to be tuned in that way, simply i made this tab to be played in standard D for the people that cant tune the guitar easly because of floyd rose ecc.... C mon dont be too meticolous i said "usually" in regard of the songs that are in D! ;) bye bye!
