                              BLOOD TEARS
                             by Blind Guardian
                     from "Nightfall in Middle Earth"

 I've figured the Intro to this new song, may be it'll inspire
somebody to transcribe the whole song :),it's a good song with beautiful
vocals.

  Intro:

E|------------------------------------------|
B|-3---1-3----3-6------3---1-3----3-6-5-----|
G|---2------------5------2------------------|
D|------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------|


E|-0---0-1----3---0----------3-5------------|
B|---3----------3------3-5-6-------5-6------|
G|-------------------------------7----------|
D|------------------------------------------|

E|------------------------------------------|


  It's also the main theme repeated many times during the song.

When I first played this song, I played it one octave lower, it felt 
better that way, but as I started to tab it seriously, I discovered that
it was played one octave higher. Actually, I was a little dissapointed, 
it had been such a great aucoustic song! But no, you HAD to play up in 
the high pitched areas, hmm... Well, I'll just stop complaining;

Here's Blood Tears!
