Sabaton - Carolus Rex

      A marvellous historic song from a marvellous swedish band Sabaton.
The song is about king Charles XII, who was the king of Sweden during the Great Northern War
He became king only when he was on 15 years old.

Song is played in standard tunig, bu tit might be easier to play with capo on 3rd fret.
