As The World Burns


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. main riff e--------------------------------- b--------------------------------- g--------------------------------- d-7----------7---7---------------- a-5----------5---6---------------- e----0-0-0-0---0---0-0-6-0-5-6-7-- end fill 1 e------------------ b------------------ g------------------ d------------------ a-8---7-8-7-8-7-5-- e-6---5-6-5-6-5-3-- end fill 2 e---------------------------------- b---------------------------------- g---------------------------------- d---------------------------------- a-8---7-8-7-8-7-5-3-----3---3---3-- e-6---5-6-5-6-5-3-1---0-1-0-1-0-1-- "Chorus" (if you can call it that) e---------------------------------------------------------------- b---------------------------------------------------------------- g-------------------------------------------------8-7-5---------- d-----------4---5---------5---4-----------6---7---------8-7-5---- a-2---------2---3---------6---5-----------4---5---------------7-- e-0-0-0-0-0---0---0-0-0-0---0---0-0-0-0-0---0---0---------------- e--------------------------------------------------------------|--------------- b--------------------------------------------------------------|--------------- g--------------------------------------------------------------|--------------- d-----------4---5---------5---4-----------6---2-----4---5---4--|2---4---5---4-- a-2---------2---3---------6---5-----------4---3-----3---3---3--|3---3---3---3-- e-0-0-0-0-0---0---0-0-0-0---0---0-0-0-0-0---0-----0---0---0---0|--0---0---0---- 2nd time only "As the world burns!"
