From RUNNING WILD, albun MASQUERADE

    LIONS OF THE SEA, for guitar & vocals

This transcription is for a standard tuned guitar (E,A,D,G,B,e), but
I think that R.W. uses 1/2 de-tuned guitars & bass guitars.
So, if you de-tune your guitar, be careful: If you see in the tab, for
example, B chord:
---------                         ----------
---------                         ----------
---4-----                        ---5------
---4-----  ====> DETUNED will be ---5------    played as C chord in a
---2-----                         --3------    standard tuned guitar.
---------                         ----------
   B                                 B

 ...And the same for all the other chords & arpegios.

For playing, you only must get the timing of the CD and follow the "tab",
I write apart the different parts of the song. Follow the tab and you'll
find easy to read (or not...).

Ok. More things. All the chords are played like 5ths, this is:

    G#  B  .... Etc. You got the idea.
e --------
B --------
G -----4--
D -6---4--
A -6---2--
E -4-------

I think that's all. For any question, mistake, CONSTRUCTIVE critic,
or to say me something, feel free to e-mail me at:

Break 1: Play the intro twice, and after follow with the lyrics

They fight...      ...truth   They figth.....lie
Opressions...   ... destroy   They'll... ....die

They fight the black to save the truth
They fight the scorning lie
Oppressions wall they will destroy
They'll fight it till they die
                        (When Rolf says "die", play a E chord instead of B,
                        and after play once the following lines: )

  Lions.......eternally  They figth...fate
                                          (When Rolf just finishes saying
C#     B       E                          "fate", start to play the next
Lions of the sea                           section)
B                      C#   B
They ride the wind eternally
C#           B       E
They fight to be free
B                  C#
Roaming the seven seas of fate


Play the second verse with main riff:
        They save their souls from black, from its evil void
        Facing the challenge its coldness to destroy
        They deny the temporal power, they deny their evil lies
        They're strain at the leash until the evil dies

Play the bridge riff again:
        They fight the black to save the truth
        They fight the scorning lie
        Oppressions wall they will destroy
        They'll fight it till they die


Play the Chorus riff:
        Lions of the sea
        They ride the wind eternally
        They fight to be free
        Roaming the seven seas of fate

A|--444-222-444---222-444-222-------------------------|
E|-------------444------------------------------------|

Play it four times, picking the strings as fast as you can
        They brave the sea eternally, they tame the raging waves
        Freedom is their destiny, the sea will be their grave

    S O L O (Sorry, no available)

Ryhtm for the solo: play the main riff 4 times
                    play the chorus riff 2 times

After lead guitar playing the solo, play both guitars the intro riff twice.

Repeat verse 1, with main riff:
        Strong and proud the cruise, black banner at the top
        The spoondrift hits the bow, they round the reefs and rocks
        The voice of freedom whispers in the rushing wind
        They roam the raging sea on their gliding wings


Play again the bridge:
        They fight the black to save the truth
        They fight the scorning lie
        Oppressions wall they will destroy
        They'll fight it till they die


Play the chorus TWICE:
        Lions of the sea
        They ride the wind eternally
        They fight to be free
        Roaming the seven seas of fate
        Lions of the sea
        They ride the wind eternally
        They fight to be free
        Roaming the seven seas of fate

Play the intro four times, and finish with the arpegio of the pre-intro.
