the timing for the chords (especially the intro) is hard but if you listen to the record
you can work it out. If you would like a chord sheet then get in touch. This is Live in
Concert Disc 2 version so it differs from the Argus version. If you do capo on fret 1 then
you can play it (and do all the lead parts one fret higher) or you could tune the guitar up one!!
This is my first tab and I couldn't find any tabs for this song so i decided I would do my own!!!!
Any comments welcomed!!!!

INTRO and MAIN RIFF
Dm G
In the fire, the king will come.
Dm C G
Thunder rolls, piper and drum.
Dm G
Evil sons, overrun,
Dm C G
Count their sins - judgment comes.
MAIN RIFF
The checkerboard of nights and days -
Man will die, man be saved.
The sky will fall, the earth will pray,
When judgment comes to claim its day.
RIFF 2
F Em
See the word of the prophet
C Am G
On a stone in his hand.
F Em
Poison pen revelation,
C Am
Or just a sign in the sand?
RIFF 3
SOLO (which can be done around the pentatonic scale of Em/Gmajor with a Wah-Wah pedal)
Haven't quite worked this bit out, it's a little bit tricky, i just play riff 1 twice
and then go to the verse....
RIFF 1
In the fire, the king will come.
Thunder rolls, piper and drum.
Evil sons, overrun,
Count their sins - judgment comes.
RIFF 2
See the word of the prophet
On a stone in his hand.
Poison pen revelation,
Or just a sign in the sand?
RIFF 1 then end on:
E|---------------| B|---------------| G|---------------| D|--12----12-12--| A|-----12--------| E|---------------|
