Before The Dawn by Judas Priest BEFORE THE DAWN Judas Priest (From the 1978 Album KILLING MACHINE (HELL BENT FOR LEATHER IN THE USA)) Gtr I (E A D G B E) - 'Acoustic' Gtr II (E A D G B E) - 'Lead guitar(overdriven guitar)' Slow number of Judas Priest,very weird indeed for them, but I like it b - bend r - bend release (if no number after the r, then release immediately) / - slide into (from) \ - slide out of (/to "nowhere") S - shift slide - natural harmonic [n] - artificial harmonic ~ - vibrato = - hold bend; also acts as connecting device for hammers/pulls () - still ringing the previous note.

"don’t let the morning take him" Outside the birds begin to call As if to summon up my leaving It’s been a lifetime since I found someone Since I found someone who would stay I’ve waited too long, and now you’re leaving Oh please don’t take it all away It’s been a lifetime since I found someone Since I found someone who would stay I’ve waited too long, and now you’re leaving Oh please don’t take it all away Before the dawn, I hear you whisper In your sleep "don’t let the morning take him" www.TAB6.com
