Ancient Rites
'Mother Europe', version 1.0

from the album 'Fatherland' (Mascot records)

First version, so it's probably still full of mistakes. But
you can help me by mailing corrections to:
guy@freemail.hammerfall.net

tuning: normal E
I always tab everything in D, so discrepancies are possible.

*: palm muting
p: pull-off
h: hammer on
/: slide
