xSong: Cry of The Banshee Artist: Brocas Helm Album: Defender of The Crown Transcribed by Colton Wood Email: [email protected] I tabbed this cause I like this song. As simple as that. And I like tapping and this song is basically 80% tapping so I decided I would give it a try. And since there really isn't any Verse/Chorus separation, I just separated the parts in Intro part A, Intro part B, Intro part C, Verse 1, Interlude, Verse 2, Bridge, [Solo part A, Solo part B, Solo part C, Solo part D], Verse 3, Outro. Once again, good luck guys. Oh and this tab is 100% accurate guaranteed. [The solo is complicated so I separated it for your convenience] Oh and I don't think I did good on the lyrics, so don't count it against me. BIG UPDATE! (1/8/11) - Feeling like a total idiot about a year after I tabbed this, I realized there is no guitar 2... So I re-did this whole tab to remove the second guitar. Sorry it took me so long TO REALIZE guys. - Added the missing part of the solo at about 2:20, the tab is now 100% complete.
