The Arrival of the Fimbul Winter

Amon Amarth
Tab

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Listen to the song to get the number of times each riff is played,

rhythm, etc.

Tune down 2 steps to C.....

Excuse any inaccuracies, I'm a beginner at tab.

This is my first tab, and it took me perhaps an accumulated 6-8 hours to do.

I can hear that there are a few mistakes, but I did the best I could, and tabbed

what I think sounded the best in each such situation.

Also, because of the annoying mix that Amon Amarth love to use, I did not tab

any of the harmonies. Stupid guitars bleeding into each other on each channel.
