------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Declaration - Trivium ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Josh Coppola Email: joshcoppola@adelphia.net Tuning: Drop D (DADGBe) This isn't the whole song, I tabbed it up to the solo. After that, it's hard to hear exactly what the guitar's doing until it returns back to the main theme. If you see any mistakes, email or comment so they can be corrected.

Then it goes back to the part right after the intro and plays through to here. Then you play: (The strumming might not be entirely right, but these are the chords) e|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|--11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-13-13-13-14-14-14-14------------| D|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-11-11-11-12-12-12-12------------| D|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|--18-18-18-18-----18-18-18-18-18----18-18-18--------9-----9-----9-----9-----9-| D|------------------------------------------------6-7---6-7---6-7---6-7---6-7---| A|--16-16-16-16-----16-16-16-16-16----16-16-16----------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Repeat that whole riff again, then some easy chords: e|--------------------| B|--------------------| G|--------------------| D|-0---4---0---7------| A|-0---4---0---7------| D|-0---4---0---7------| Then it goes into the solo, and I'm not entirely sure about the rest of the song from this point.
