The fast picking parts are not accurate but listen to the song for timings. This is as closely tabbed as we can get, but feel free to Email us at any time if you have any improvements or suggestions. Hail Vader!! Intro Riff - This is fast to play, and watch out for all the variations on the riff. |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------4-5-4---3333333-----------------4-5-4---3333333-----| |---2222222-4-5-------5-------------2222222-4-5-------5-------------| . . . . . . . . . . . . |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------4-5-4---3333333---------------555555555-------------| |---2222222-4-5-------5-------------222222222-----------------------| . . . . . . |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------4-5-4---3333333----------------4-5-4---4h5p4h5------| |---2222222-4-5-------5------------2222222-4-5-------5--------------| . . . . . . . . . . . . |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------4-5-4---3333333---------------4-5-4---5-7-5-4-------| |---2222222-4-5-------5-----------2222222-4-5-------5---------------| . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------4-5-4---3333333---------------4-5-4---4h5p4h5-------| |---2222222-4-5-------5-----------2222222-4-5-------5---------------| . . . . . . . . . . . . |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------4-5-4---4-5-4--------5-------------6\5--------------| |---2222222-4-5-------5-------5------3\2-2-2-2-2-2-4\3--------------| . . . . . . . . . . ......
