This Fire Burns Chords & Tabs
Artist: Killswitch Engage
Track: This Fire Burns
Album: Wreckless intent(and upcoming album of 2007)
This is taken from the WWE album wreckless intent and once I heard I knew I had to tab
out because this song so killer. It's also a really good breathe of fresh air from
Cant wait for their new album
Also theres melodies missing from the first breakdown and from the chorus, I did this
by ear so it was really difficult also considering I've been playing a year and a half. So
is mistakes however I just wanted everyone to get a general jist of this masterpice.
Enjoy :)
