Wolves In The Throne Room - Wanderer Above The Sea Of Fog Chords & Tabs

Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog
Wolves in the Throne Room

Standard tuning
distortion, reverb, the works
this song is in 6/4, unless noted. and for the most part,
you're going to be tremolo picking. also, where you see an
"x" above the score, thats a measure marker.

Main riff

 x	     x           x           x
-------------------------------------------------|
-------------------------------------------------|
-------------------------------------------------|
-5-----------4-----------------------------5--4--|
-3-----------2-----------2-----------------2--2--|
-------------------------0-----------------------|

eventually, this lead is played over that riff

 x	     x	  	 x	     x
-----------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|
-------------------------------------9----7----|
-------------8-----7-----------7---------------|
-5-----8-----------------8---------------------|
-----------------------------------------------|


then, there is this part that has a slower feel (same tempo, thought)
one guitar plays the E5s as i wrote here, the other
keeps up the strum patten from the other chords

 x	     x		 x
--------------------------------------------|
--------------------------------------------|
--------------------------------------------|
-5---5-5-5-5-4---4-4-4-4--------------------|
-3---3-3-3-3-2---2-2-2-2-2------2-----------|
-------------------------0------0-----------|

 x
--------------------|
--------------------|
--------------------|
-------5-5-5-4-4-4--|
-2-----2-2-2-2-2-2--|
-0------------------|


play that twice, then it keeps playing under the guitar
solo (which starts at about 2:19)
i doubt i'll tab the solo, suck at doing that...

after the solo that bit keeps up, until "royal robes of
green and red," at about 2:55
now, we move on to this (back to tremolo picking):

 x     x     x     x     x     x     x     x
---------------------------------------------------------|
---------------------------------------------------------|
---------------------------------------------------------|
-------------8-----7-----------------8--7--5--7----------|
-8-----------5-----5-----8-----------5--5--5--5----------|
-6-----------------------6-------------------------------|

then:

 x  x  x  x  x  x  x  x
---------------------------|
---------------------------|
---------------------------|
-------------7-------------|
-8-----8--7--5-----8-------|
-6-----5--5--------6-------|

and under that, a clean guitar plays:

---------------------------|
-6-----5--5--6--6--6---6---|
-6-----5--5--7--7--6---6---|
-8-----7--7--7--7--8---8---|
-8-----8--7--5--5--8---8---|
-6-----5--5--------6---6---|

play this riff three times, then hit and hold a D minor (x5776x)

This next section is in 4/4, until noted
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/w/wolves_in_the_throne_room/wanderer_above_the_sea_of_fog_tab.html ]
synth lead:
---------------------------------------|
---------------------------------------|
---7--------6--------7--------9--------|
---------------------------------------|
---------------------------------------|
---------------------------------------|

under that (strum)...
   x    x    x    x    x    x    x
-------------------------------------------|
-------------------------------------------|
----------------------------9-10-----------|
---7---------6---------7----7--7-9---------|
---5---------4---------5---------7---------|
---5---------4---------5---------7---------|

under the last chord, 2nd guitar palm mutes an e5

and now:
  x    x     x    x         x   x     x    x
------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------|
------12-10---------7-7-6-------9-10-10---------|
--7---10--8-6-------6-6-6--7----------9---------|
--5---------4--------------5----7--8--7---------|
--5---------4--------------5----------7---------|
		    |---|
		      |
		odd triplet thing

(i cant figure out that little fill that's in
the last measure there...)

then this twice:

 x   x   x   x
---------------------|
---------------------|
-----9--10-----------|
-7---7---8-----------|
-5---7---8-----------|
-5-------------------|

play the first pattern twice, tremolo picking the frist time, then
the second pattern twice, then move on to:
(back to tremolo)
 x   x   x   x   x   x   x   x   x   x
-------------------------------------------|
-------------------------------------------|
--------10-------9---7-------9--10---------|
-7-------------------8-------8---8---8-----|
-5-------8-------7-------------------8-----|
-5-----------------------------------6-----|

hold the last chord

back to 6/4
1x as only one guitar (and a drum roll),
then three times with the whole band

 x  x  x  x  x  x  x  x
---------------------------|
---------------------------|
---------------------------|
-------------7-------------|
-8-----8--7--5-----8-------|
-6-----5--5--------6-------|


4/4
 x x x x x x x x
--------------------------|
--------------------------|
--------------------------|
--------------------------|
-5-----5-8----------------|
-5-----3-6----------------|

4 times, then this lead comes in:

lead:
  x  x  x  x  x  x  x  x  x  x  x  x  x  x  x  x
---------------------------------------------------|
-10------------------------------------------------|
-------10-----9-------10--------9------------------|
-----------------------------------5--8------------|
---------------------------------------------------|
---------------------------------------------------|
rhythm:
---------------------------------------------------|
---------------------------------------------------|
---------------------------------------------------|
---------------------------------------------------|
-5--------5--8------------5--------5--8------------|
-5--------3--6------------5--------3--6------------|



this pattern plays twice, and then the lead ends on
the high A, while rhythm ends on the D5 chord (557xx)


there you have it! sorry it took so long to finish,
and sorry for poor layout. happy playing!
