HEATSTROKES by Krokus
From the "Metal Rendez-Vous" Album

Tabbed by Samuel Schmid
E-Mail: blue.eagle@bluemail.ch

Please note that this tab is just an interpretation of my own, which is according to the record not 100% correct. We play it just as it is tabbed below (more or less at last). Also, I ignored any timing. I recommend you to listen to the record.
Oh, if anyone has this song's lyrics I'd be glad if he could mail it to me, and in the case of bugs, suggestions etc. too.

Cheers,
Sam

After the Interlude follows a Solo, which I was just too lazy to transcribe. Just improvise something around the A or E pentatonic scale.

INTERLUDE, Part 2

Guitar II starts with the drums, and Guitar which react to Guitar I.
