Song
Blood Tears
from
Nightfall In Middle Earth
by
Blind Guardian
When I first played this song, I played it one octave lower, it felt
better that way, but as I started to tab it seriously, I discovered that
it was played one octave higher. Actually, I was a little dissapointed,
it had been such a great aucoustic song! But no, you HAD to play up in
the high pitched areas, hmm... Well, I'll just stop coplaining;
Here's Blood Tears!

Chorus (this is just the first chorus lyrics)
Alive
Though the end appears my friend
And blood Tears I cry
You've searched and you've found
Cut off your old friends hand
There's actually aocoustic in the chorus to, if you havn't noticed
that. And I Believe I've got that right to.
