			     The Lost Vikings - Dethklok
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by:  Old Rasputin
Email:      einsteinonthebeach@comcast.net

Tuning: C standard (C,F,Bb,Eb,G,c)

Note: All note names are written as though we are in standard tuning, as I
      refuse to re-learn my fretboard in C.

Note: Some of the parts (mostly in that nightmare of a bridge) can be tough
      to hear, so I've notated all of the rhythm.  My conventions are as
      follows:    
                W = whole note/rest          R = rest
                h = half note/rest        
                q = quarter note/rest        /
                e = eighth note/rest       o/o = repeat previous bar
                s = sixteenth note/rest    /
                h.= dotted half note

                Tied note values are connected with an underscore.
                example: s__(s)  (a 16th tied to another 16th)

                anything under: /--3--\ is a triplet

                Double bar lines indicate the end of sections.
                All bars are 4 beats unless otherwise noted.

Gtr 2:

Not 100% sure on the voicings here.  Obviously the voice that shifts
from E to D# is the dominant one - just playing octaves alternating
between E and D# works well too and it makes a nice clean transition
to the octaves in bar 5.

3rd Chorus: (2:41)

The 3rd one (the one after the bridge) is a bit different.  Instead of
doubling Gtr1, Gtr2 plays a higher voicing expanding the power chords
into full blown C major, G major and E minor triads.

===============================================================================

*Whew* Who'd of thought such a manifestly easy tune would turn into such a 
pain in the ass?  Obviously the bridge and outro could be simplified in 
actual practice (my thoughts on the bridge appear in the appendix below).  
There's absolutely no reason to play all that fast shit the way he does - 
it's so buried in there, but I figured I'd just do my best to transcribe 
exactly what was on the album and go from there.

Cheers,

Appendix:

My suggestion for a 2 guitar Bridge:


(2:09)  Rhythm plays Gtr 4 part 

        Lead plays Gtr3 part - perhaps turning it into a pedal lick
                               to take up space:

                 (all 16ths) 
 
c.|-007p0-7h800-7p07h8-08p7h8-|-007p0-7h800-7p07h8-08p7h8-|
G.|---------------------------|---------------------------|

(2:17)  ("fast part")

        Rhythm plays the octave line (Gtr2's part from the Verse/Bridge).
        
        Lead continues with Gtr3 part (or something similar - god knows
                                       it doesn't have to be note for note).

(2:21)  Rhythm plays Gtr 4 part (lower harmony) until beat 3 of the final
        measure, at which point it plays the 2 quarter note power chrords
        (C then D) that lead into the verse (normally Gtr1 and 2's part).

        Lead plays either octave of the Gtr3 part.
