Death in Fire
Amon Amarth
Versus the World
Tuning: B standard (BEADF#B)
As my good friends on the opposite side of the world would say, this tab
same-same but different. The other tabs up are pretty good, but I’ve
fixed a few obvious mistakes and figured out things like the backing to
the interlude, which I haven’t seen elsewhere.
This tab is slightly harder to play than the rest, but, in my opinion,
much more accurate. Let me know what you think.

Main Riff x4 - Face It Without Fear!
Contrary to popular belief, the opens are NOT palm muted, just staccato
(stopped before you hit the next note). Listen closely, you’ll hear it.
