Normal Tuning (EADGBe)
Intro riff / Riff 1. I'm not sure how many times the A5 chords is hit but if you just
listen to the song and play the riff you "feel" it. Downstroke the chords and tremolo pick
the notes. Play 7 times.

Vocals enter 3th time:
Never shall the sun kiss my face
And caress me with it's burning light
For I dwell in the shadows
And sleep side by side with death
In dark desire I embrace the whore
Giving her an escape from an unworthly life
For with the appearance of a fallen angel

(1:36) Riff 3. Maybe you have to detune to D to play this riff good (the first chord in this riff
is a D) but this also sounds good (play 8 times):
