Hail To The King Chords & Tabs
since the other chords versions don't sound quite right I
decided to make a power chord only version, which is
exactly as it was recorded, so crank up the distortion
and dig in :D
Note: ( C#5 ) is one whole octave above C#5, i used the
brackets to differentiate between the two.
Let me know if there's any mistakes, it's very easy to get
chords mixed up when there's so many. The strumming pattern
is easy enough to work out from the song (but would take
forever to tab)
Use these chords (in drop c#)
