Ancient Rites
'Mother Europe', version 1.0
from the album 'Fatherland' (Mascot records)
First version, so it's probably still full of mistakes. But
you can help me by mailing corrections to:
guy@freemail.hammerfall.net
tuning: normal E
I always tab everything in D, so discrepancies are possible.
*: palm muting
p: pull-off
h: hammer on
/: slide
