Hi Christian,
hope these MANOWAR tabs are getting to you just fine....
Artist: MANOWAR
Song: ACHILLES, AGONY AND ECSTASY IN EIGHT PARTS
Album: THE TRIUMPH OF STEEL (1992)
Tabbed: Lord Reveres frauzel@azstarnet.com
"Prelude"
This part is played in chords, but not any fifths I tried. It might be
that D,
(fret 5 on the A string), is the bottom note for all these, but I wasn't
sure.
Try it and play what you like
Play 2 Times:

(N.C.)Em C5
D5 B5
See my chariots run to your ships I'll drive you back to

Verse 2
(N.C.)Em C5
D5 B5
We will pay with our glory in the fire of battle Zeus to - day

ring with my name
(N.C.)Em C5
D5 E5
None have to chase me let he who will face me Kill me or
die by the sword

Then the 3 chords:
Eb5 F5 G5 (let ring)
Then, an organ plays this:
Oh friend of mine how to say goodbye
G F# Em D Bm D G
D G
e|-3--2--0---------------------------3--5--3-------------------------5--2--3--

D|---------------------------------------------0----------0------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------0------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
Then the choir comes in and the organ is inaudible (but I think it's
still playing)
You get the general idea here, though of what it would be playing
B5 C5 D5 B5
(B5) G5 D5 E5
I will not rest until Hector's blood is spilled His bones will all
be broken dragged across the field
Then the organ plays the louder melody:
This dear friend is how we'll say goodbye Until we meet in the
sky
