Blood Tears
from
Nightfall In Middle Earth
by
Blind Guardian

When I first played this song, I played it one octave lower, it felt
better that way, but as I started to tab it seriously, I discovered that
it was played one octave higher. Actually, I was a little dissapointed,
it had been such a great aucoustic song! But no, you HAD to play up in

the high pitched areas, hmm... Well, I'll just stop coplaining;

Here's Blood Tears!

You've searched and you've found
Cut off your old friends hand
