In Flames - Moonshield
Standard tuning
Tempo: between 168 and 176
Timing: 6/8
| = mute strings/silence the guitar
~ = vibrato
b = bend
r = return
h = hammer on
p = pull off
X = pick through muted strings to get a percussive sound
(x) = string is bent to pitch of fret x
#### = delineates which multiple guitar parts go together
-==< = volume swell
>==- = reverse volume swell
First off i just want to say that NONE of the tabs i've seen online for this song are
and this one
isn't going to be either. This song is played in Eb, not standard tuning. (Check time
4:06 to 4:08) But
since all the other tabs claim it's in standard tuning, this is the way i learned it. In
is one of my
favorite bands, and this is one of their best songs. This tab won't be perfect, but i'll
my best to do
the song justice.

This is by no means an exact strumming pattern; i'm just trying to get the notes right.
that second to
last power chord here is an octave lower in the studio recording -- the same pitch as an
E power chord
on a guitar tuned to Eb.
