"The Czar I. Usurper II. Escape III. Martyr IV. Spiral"

track no.4 from the 2009 album "Crack the Skye"



Tabbed out by beevvy <b.brachaczek@gmail.com>



Please send any feedback, suggestions, corrections,

etc. to my e-mail address (above).



I uploaded this file because my friends advised me to

do so, although it's not a final version yet. There are

still many mistakes and I haven't yet tabbed out Lead

Guitar (main solo is really difficult to work out!). I'll do it

soon.



Please don't rate this file until I update it!

(Unless you want to give me 5 stars ;-) )



You can also find my Guitar Pro tab of this song

here on ultimate-guitar.com. These are almost exact the same,

GP version has a bit more information.



I made this text version for users who don't have GP5.







Tuning: D Standard (down 1 step): DGCFAD



Tempo: about 122 in Escape part, Usurper and Martyr are a bit slower

Play some variation of Verse 1. See GP tab for details.

And finish the song with E5 (actually D5).







Have a good fun!
