Song
KREATOR - AS THE WORLD BURNS
>From the album Terrible Certainty (1987)
Tabbed by Tuomas Mustonen - tuomas.mustonen@mail.htk.fi
First of all:
I did NOT include any palm mutes, 100accurate timing or detailed song structure
information. My point is: if you are familiar with the song, you won't need that
stuff anyway. And why use this tab if you don't know the song?? ;)
That being said here is the song, which I did my best to transcribe correctly.
I think it is correct, but if you still notice any errors tell me.

2nd time only
"As the world burns!"
The fill before middle part:
e------------------------------------
b------------------------------------
g------------------------------------
d-10-10-10-9------7-7-7-5------------ a-8--8--8--7------5-5-5-3------------
e------------------------------------

g----------------------------------------------------------------
d----------------------------------------------------------------
a-8-7-5-3-----3---3---3---3---3---8-7-5-3-----3---3---3---3---3-- e-6-5-3-1---0-1-0-1-0-1-0-1-0-1-0-6-5-3-1---0-1-0-1-0-1-0-1-0-1--
Now this is a kickass riff!
e--------------------------------
b--------------------------------
g--------------------------------
d-------------6---5-------------- a-5-----------4-x-3-5/6-x-5-x-6-- e-3---3-3-3-3---x---3/4-x-3-x-4--
e--------------------------------
b--------------------------------
g--------------------------------
d-------------8---7-------7---8-- a-7-----------6-x-5-7/8-x-5-x-6-- e-5---5-5-5-5---x---5/6-x---x----
Under the solo just play the main riff from the beginning,
expect for a while it is played a little higher:
e---------------------------------
b---------------------------------
g-7----------7---7---------------- d-5----------5---6---------------- a----0-0-0-0---0---0-0-6-0-5-6-7--
e---------------------------------
Then repeat chorus.
That's it!
