Song: Holy Diver
Band: Dio
Album: Holy Diver
Author: Matt Anderson (starchild526@hotmail.com)
Holy Diver is a wonderful song for any new bassist that likes classic metal. It
was one of my first songs, but my dad had to tab it for me, since the original
version by Jeremy Berry was incomplete and a little off. However, Jeremy
had the right idea, so thank you Mr. Berry for getting me started. This is my
first tab, so be kind. By the way, there are too many one-note variations,
so I'll be labeling Verses and Choruses and stuff, but I will write every
note that is played, I won't just write when to repeat.
Intro (No Bass)
Chorus (No Vocals. Starts at 1:20)
