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

One of the first Kreator songs ever, even appeared at their first

demo when they were still known as Tormentor. In my opinion, this

is one of the best from the album and a Kreator-classic.

1) Main riff:

G|---------------------------------------3-2------|
D|----------------------2---0-2-0-2----------3-2--|
A|-x/-2---222-2-2---x/--0---0-0-0-0-0-0-0---------|
E|-x/-0---000-0-0---x/--------------.-.-.---------|

1b)

This is just a variation of the main riff, this is where

Mille fucks around with the whammy bar.

G|---------------------------------------3-2------|
D|----------------------2---0-2-0-2----------3-2--|
A|-x/-2(dive w/bar)-x/--0---0-0-0-0-0-0-0---------|
E|-x/-0-------------x/--------------.-.-.---------|

2) Verse riff:

Basically the same as the main riff, but with palm-muting.

(last time end with E5)

G|------------------------------------------------------3-2------|
D|-------------------------------2--------------------------3-2--|
A|-2--------------------------x/-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0----------|
E|-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-x/----.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.----------|

. . . . . . . . . . . .

2) Pre-chorus: (use tremolo picking)
