SOLE SURVIVOR - HELLOWEEN
Taken from High Live Album
Feb 5th 2003
Hi folks. My name is Eduardo Kepczynski and this is my first tab ever.
I had expend many hours listening to this song and trying to play it.
There is little differences between the live and the studio version.
Iґm sure itґs not perfect, but it was the most i could do.
It will help everyone who wants to play this awesome song.
Feel free to add some hammer on, pull off and palm mute. Improvisation rules.
Sorry, the solo is missing.
Tune down 1/2 step.
Any doubt or corrections, please send me an e-mail at
[email protected]
Iґll apreciate.
PM = Palm Mute
~ = Vibrato
h = Hammer on
p = Pull off
= Slide down
/ = Slide up
b = Bend
rb = Release Bend

Lyrics
I got that fever
Burning my head
So many memories
No tear to shed
Burns like a fire
Who stole my aims?
My comrade fighters
Been sent astray
How could i know
What others had in mind for me?
How would they know
What measures i take?
Sole survivor
Of a kill without alert
Sing your feelings out
Your songs remains unheard
Sole survivor
We shared like brothers
A light in the black
Totally blended
Bold and erect
But weґve grown intriguers
Till itґs too late
Time has brought fire
Fear, greed and hate
Now Iґm cryinґ
Shattered on the ground
All I find
Has died anyway
Sole survivor
Of a kill without alert
Sing your feelings out
Your songs remains unheard
Sole survivor
Got a voice without a sound
Mean mistreaters
Took away your ground
Sole survivor
HAPPY HAPPY HELLOWEEN !!!
