                         Taken from the album

 Ok. There are some strange (?) markings in this tab. I didn't want to
 write that power chord strumming in tab because it takes some space (and
 I'm lazy also ;). So I tried to figure out a better (?) way to write it
 and I came up with this: '/'. It isn't a new invention but it lacks timing, 
 so I placed between strokes either '-' or '='. If there is '-' (one or 
 more) between strokes, they are 1/8 notes. If there is '=', they are 1/16
 notes. I might have marked whether it is upstroke or downstroke but the
 strumming is mostly palm muted so it doesn't matter. Tempo is someting 
 like 168. 
 Tell me what you think about it. Enjoy!
 
 H = Hammer on, P = Pull off, Ah = Artificial harmonic, --3-- = triol

(Verse riff twice)
  Guns spitting iron and fire, acrid snoke clouding the air

  Hoisting the flag of surrender, delivering their silver and gold
  A generous gift to the poor, for the brothers they sold
