xBand: Alice Cooper Song: Freedom Album: Raise Your Fist and Yell Year: 1987 Tabbed by DoteStudios Email is [email protected] Well here it is my second attempt at an Alice Cooper song with the speed metal god, Kane on it. Kane is extremely fast difficult to understand sometimes, I had to slow this and remove the vocals to get a lot of it. A lot of Kane's techniques include pinch lifting off the whammy bar from an already hit note (which makes that "rear!!!!" and sweep picking. The solo to this song is pretty damn close, some parts Kane gets a sloppy so bare with me, the last part I can't tab. Anyways, enjoy!!! Keys b = bend r = release \ = slide up neck / = slide down neck h = hammer-on p = pull-off ~ = vibrato w = whammy bar ( ) = the note in between the parentheses is still ringing . = the note under the . is palm muted ph = pinch harmonic E------------------------------------------------------------------| B-----------------------------------------------13-13--13----------| G--------------------------------------14-12-14-----------14-14-14-| D------------------------------------------------------------------| A-/12\3--slowly pull back whammy bar-------------------------------| E------------------------------------------------------------------| E-----------------------------------------------------------------| B-----------------------------------------------------------------| G-------------5-------7-------5---------------5-------5-------5---| D-------------5-------7-------5---------------5-------4-------3---| A-0-0-0-0-0-0-----0-0-----0-0-----0-0-0-0-0-0-----0-0-----0-0-----| E-----------------------------------------------------------------| E----------------------------------/20\---/20\---/23------\---| B-------------------------------------------------------------| G-------------5-------7-------5-------------------------------| D-------------5-------7-------5-------------------------------| A-0-0-0-0-0-0-----0-0-----0-0---------------------------------| E-------------------------------------------------------------| “We the people of the United States In order to form a more perfect union” E------------------------------------------------------14----------------| B----------------------------------------------------------15------13~~~-| G-------------5-------7-------5---------------5----------------14--------| D-------------5-------7-------5---------------5--------------------------| A-0-0-0-0-0-0-----0-0-----0-0-----0-0-0-0-0-0----------------------------| E------------------------------------------------------------------------| “Stop pretending that you've never been bad.
