Judas Priest

Title:Beyond The Realms of Death
Artist: Judas Priest
Tabbed by: Codie

This is a cool song so I decided to try and figure it out. The second guitar part is in
recorded version, I'm not sure if he used a 12 string, but it should sound something
this.

*note: You can play the song just with the first guitar part, but if you decide to have
second guitar then both guitars need to play the notes at the same time.

Guitar 1(clean):

This part comes in after the bridge right before the solo:
(let the first three chords ring for about 4 quarter notes and play the last two chords
same way as in the verses)

End of bridge(just for the sake of giving it a name lol):
|-----------------|
|-----------------|
|-----------------|
|-9--7--5--2--4---|
|-9--7--5--2--4---|
|-7--5--3--0--2---|

/ = slide up
h = hammer on

the song order should be something like:

Intro
verse
chorus
verse
chorus
bridge
chorus
end of bridge
solo(sorry I didn't try to figure the solos out/tab 'em they're not in here)
verse
chorus
bridge
solo #2
beyond the realms of death ;)

*note: during the solo you can continue to play the chorus chords.

Lyrics:
He had enough
He couldn't take anymore
He'd found a place
In his mind and slammed the door
No matter how they tried
They couldn't understand
They washed and dressed him
Fed him by hand

Yeah! I've left the world behind
I'm safe here in my mind
Free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life
I'll decide not you

Withdrawn he'd sit there
Stare blank into space
No sign of life
Would flicker on his face
Until one day he smiled
It seemed as though with pride
The wind kissed him
Goodbye - and then he died

Yeah! I've left the world behind
I'm safe here in my mind
Free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life
I'll decide not you

Keep the world with all its sin
It's not fit for livin' in
Yeah! I will start again
It can take forever, and ever, and ever
And ever, but I'll still win.

How many like him,
Are there still
But to us, all
Seem to have lost the will
They lie in thousands
Plagued and lost
Is nothing worth this bitter cost

Yeah! I've left the world behind
I am safe here in my mind
Free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life
I'll decide not you
keep the world with all its sin
It's not fit for livin' in

Beyond the realms of death.

The verses and chorus are a little repetetive for the picking, so I won't keep repeating
just follow that and you should be fine. So here's the tab, hope you have fun...and
5:30 A.M. here, I'm going to bed lol.
