                                 NIGHTFALL
                             by Blind Guardian
                     from "Nightfall in Middle Earth"


 Hi mates...I have managed to find the intro and the chords
  (I believe that the same chords are repeated over and over
   again) of this "gamato" (<= in greek) song.Enjoy:

  INTRO:        

  |--O------O---------------O-----O-----------1---1-1-O-O--
  |--1----1---1-------------1----1--1---------1--------3---
  |--2---2-----2-2/3-O--3-2-2---2----2-3-2-O--2------------
  |--2----------2-----------2-----------------3-----3---2--
  |--O----------------------O-----------------X------------        
  |--X----------------------X-----------------X------------

   -----3--3-3-1-3-O--|
   -----3-------------|
   -----O----O--------|
   -----O----------2--|
   -----2-------------|
   -----X-------------|


   REST IN CHORDS:

   
      Am               Fm         C                   G/B            
   No sign of life did flicker in floods of tears she cried
   Am                 F              C           
   All hope's lost it can't be undone they're wasted and 
   G/B
   gone....

   It goes with the same chords(Am F C G/B) all over the song
   (apart from some solo).For a better perfomance use a capo 
   on the first fret.Well thats it...I hope that I'll manage 
   to find out the rest of the song and maybe the solos.


   Till then , "may your beards never stop growing"... 

   please send any comments corrections or whatever

TABLATURE EXPLANATION

HBR = Strike the note and bend up 1/2 step, then release the bend back to 
the original note. (Rapidly)
      All three notes are tied, only the first note is struck.
FBR = Same as above, but bend the note one whole step.
PFB = Prebend the note one whole step.
R   = Release a ben to the original note.
A.H = Atrificial harmonic. The note is fretted normally and a harmonic is 
produced by adding the
      edge of the tumb or the tip of the indexfinger of the right hand to 
the normal pick attack.
~   = Vibrato.



Listen to the recording for timing.
