Bridge of death by: MANOWAR from the album Hail to England.

!!!!!!!! Look for the solo at the end of this tab

If you know anything about manowar,
you should realize that the intro of the song is played on bassguitar.
The intro is too fast for me to tab.
I have however arranged the bass back ground in the beginning of the song 
for guitar. This tab is probably full of errors.
-Forgive me, This is my first time tabbing and I first layed my hands on a 
guitar 3 months ago, with no-one but my self and guitar tablature to teach me.
Ignore the timing. Listen to the song to get the rirght timing and when to "hold" chords.

John "thunderlord" Wahlén. 18years old Sweden.

X= Mute, play only for percussive "metal-sound".
p=  Pull
h=  Hammer

As soon as the intro slows down, play this:

                        Slowly crossing...  ... belo...             ..ow
