Some notes to help you along: I'm sure they play this with a capo (or else they just decided to be difficult and write something in Ab). Anys, this transcription is in standard tuning. I'm just gonna give a quick rundown of the rhythm strums and some lead bits, but won't bother about structure, timing or lyrics yet. Oh, the time sig is 6/8. The cool riff based on the Ab Major scale... |----------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------4---------| |--------------------------------------------3-------| |-6-5-3----------6-6s8-6--3-5-6-5-3------------6s8-6-| |-------6-3--3-4--------------------6-3--3-----------| |----------------------------------------------------| Next is that quiet bit that sounds like a minor version of "for he's a jolly good fellow" :) In Flames use two guitars, but this is faking it by myself. If you've got two guitarists, then just seperate the lead from the chords.

(my notes are a mess) there's a picking run also using strings 6, 5 and 4 which goes something like this: Ab Bb B 4:-----6------8-----9---- 5:---6------8-----9------ then the same chords vv vv v hold 6:-4------6-----7--------- played as a rhythm like: | Ab Bb | B |
