Song

SOLE SURVIVOR - HELLOWEEN

Taken from High Live Album

Feb 5th 2003

Hi folks. My name is Eduardo Kepczynski and this is my first tab ever.

I had expend many hours listening to this song and trying to play it.

There is little differences between the live and the studio version.

I´m sure it´s not perfect, but it was the most i could do.

It will help everyone who wants to play this awesome song.

Feel free to add some hammer on, pull off and palm mute. Improvisation rules.

Sorry, the solo is missing.

Tune down 1/2 step.

Any doubt or corrections, please send me an e-mail at

hellowed@terra.com.br

I´ll apreciate.

PM = Palm Mute

~ = Vibrato

h = Hammer on

p = Pull off

\ = Slide down

/ = Slide up

b = Bend

rb = Release Bend

Lyrics

I got that fever

Burning my head

So many memories

No tear to shed

Burns like a fire

Who stole my aims?

My comrade fighters

Been sent astray

How could i know

What others had in mind for me?

How would they know

What measures i take?

Sole survivor

Of a kill without alert

Sing your feelings out

Your songs remains unheard

Sole survivor

We shared like brothers

A light in the black

Totally blended

Bold and erect

But we´ve grown intriguers

Till it´s too late

Time has brought fire

Fear, greed and hate

Now I´m cryin´

Shattered on the ground

All I find

Has died anyway

Sole survivor

Of a kill without alert

Sing your feelings out

Your songs remains unheard

Sole survivor

Got a voice without a sound

Mean mistreaters

Took away your ground

Sole survivor

HAPPY HAPPY HELLOWEEN !!!
