"Snake Eater" (Main Title Theme) Tab By: C64 [email protected] This is the song from the opening sequence of Metal Gear Solid 3 "Snake Eater". The tab is a lead guitar thing based on the vocal line sung by Cynthia Harrell. All notes represent her voice, except for the orchestrated parts (1 & 22). Snake Eater was written by composer Norihiko Hibino for the 2004 Hideo Kojima game "Metal Gear Solid 3" for Playstation 2. For help, listen to "Snake Eater" at YouTube: Link 1 ---- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CbFAZ2ztlE (Cinematic Intro) Link 2 ---- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aHQnDTd1y4 (Audio Only) PSP ------- http://www.sendspace.com/file/90x7ml (Portable MP4 Video) [NOTES] Spacing between notes isn't calibrated. I tried to sinc lyrics up to the corresponding notes but some may be off by a space or two, so feel it out. I'm not sure about the final orchestra note at the end. It probably needs a tweak. I didn't add any of the orchestrated fills during the song but they are pretty easy to figure out and add into the mix. I just included the intro and outro only. Expand or build on this tab or make an arrangement out of it and rewrite a more complex Snake Eater tab if you want. This tab is accurate and plays along well to the song on the Soundtrack.
