The middle part with the guitar solo is played faster than I tabbed it but I don't really 
feel like counting out
the notes (I'd get it wrong anyhow). I didn't bother tabbing the end because it's just 
the ladz hitting
random notes and screaming (or so it seems!)

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Alex Wanna Be	#1 by Alex Bosilkov at Sep 11, 1996 at 9:38 AM EST
	I think this one is about Thor... :P

No Picture Vezy Professional	#2 by Vezy at Sep 30, 1999 at 1:47 PM EST
	In ancient Norse mythology, Thor, the god of thunder and the son of Odin, is the most powerful of all the gods. Wielding a hammer that fires lighting bolts, he battles giants and serpents, where Thor rides his chariot the earth shakes and is torn asunder. For countless eons he fights to protect the world from harm, knowing that one day he will die in battle at the end of the world(also known as Ragnarok,) yet even knowing this he continues to battle with all his might. Awesome song, powerful as hell. Probably my favorite Manowar song, Eric Adams vocals on this give me chills.

No Picture Martyn Average	#3 by Martyn cleary at Sep 22, 2006 at 4:39 AM EST
	Sorry, to add I wanted to mention how this song creates such a vivid image in my mind. Some songs have the power to do that and this is one, I just get so caught up in it. I picture in my head Thor in the midst of battle waving his giant hammer and sending lighting bolts down at his enemies. I love songs that have this kind of power.
