Subject: Megadeth: 'Tornado Of Souls'

I just thought I'd add the intro to 'Tornado Of Souls' by Megadeth

E -------------------------------------------------

B -------------------------------------------------

G -------------------------------------------------

D ----------------------------------------------

A -9---------------------------------------9-9--

E -7------------------7-7--

( Means natural harmonic played at the x'th fret...)

Well.. That's about it...

Transcription of intro riff to 'Tornado of Souls'

from Megadeth's Album 'Rust in peace'

As a great Marty Friedman Fan ('Scenes' is unbelievably melodic!) I

finally bought the two Megadeth Album's. Despite the really bad vocals

on some of the tracks of RIP (CDTE is far better), there are really some

great guitar lines on these albums bu both Marty and Mustaine.

I especially loved this one:

H--------------------------------------

G-----------------------------------7--

D--------------------------7---9-7-----

A------------7-8-7-5-7-8-9---9---------

E---7-7-9-10--------------------------- and so on

Lyrics :

This morning I made the call

The one that ends it all

Hangin' up I wanted to cry

But damnitthe wells gone dry

Not for the money

Not for the pain

Not for the power

Just no more games

But now I'm safe in the eye of the tornado

I cant replace the lies that let a thousand days go

No more livin trapped inside

In her way I'll surely die

In the eye of the tornado

Blow me away

You'll grow to loathe my name

You'll hate me just the same

You wont need your breath

And soon you'll meet your death

Not from the years

Not from the use

Not from the tears

Just self abuse

But now I'm safe in the eye of the tornado

I cant replace thelies that let a thousand days go

No more livin' trapped inside

In her way I'll surely die

In the eye of the tornado

Blow me away

Who's to say what's for me to say?

Who's to say what's for me to be?

Who's to say what's for me to do?

`Cause a big nothing it'll be for me

The land of oppurtunity

The golden chance for me

My future looks so bright

I think I've seen the light

Can't say what's on my mind

Can't do what I really feel

In this bed I made for me

That's where I'll sleep I'll really feel

Well, I warned you of the fate

Proven true too late

Your tongue is twist perverse

Come drink now of this curse

And now I fill your brain

I spin you 'round again

My poison fills your head

As I tuck you into bed

You feel my finger tips

You wont forget my lips

You'll feel my cold breath

It's the kiss of death!

--James Johnson
