------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Floodgates Open - Azriel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Fourstringpunk Email: andrew_j_parkinson@hotmail.co.uk Tuning: Drop D I think it's about 90% correct, the chordy part of the chorus may be a little sketchy If you have any comments or corrections, feel free to post them. A great song by a great band. This is the first track from the "Burn the Illusionary EP. They're releasing their first full length later this year on Thirty Days of Night Records. www.myspace.com/azriel INTRO [guitar one]
