Song: The Sorrowed Man Artist: Nevermore Album: In Memory ---------------------- Transcribed by James Lee (slayer@cs.stanford.edu) Notation: b = bend-up (number of steps in parentheses) pb = bend-up (number of steps in parentheses) r = release bend ^ = legato (hammer-on, pull-off) P.H. = pinch harmonic x = muted string / = slide-up Intro ----- capo on 3rd fret (fret positions shown are actual, not relative) Rhythm part: Note: On the CD, it seems like they actually tune the 3rd string from a G to an F# and capo the 4th fret - that would allow you to play the first two notes in the fourth bar on separate strings so they can both ring out, and it would also make the fingerings for some of the chords much easier... however, with this arrangement, you don't have to re-tune. If you want to do it their way, just add one fret to the notes on the third string. clean electric |---------------------------------|---------------------------------| |---------4---------------4-------|---------4-----------------------| |-----4-------4-------4-------4---|-----4-------4-------4-----------| |-4---------------4---------------|-8---------------6-------4---3---| |---------------------------------|---------------------------------| |---------------------------------|---------------------------------| |---------------------------------|---------------------------------| |-----------------4---------------|---------------------------------| |---------3-----------3-----------|---------3---------------3-------| |-----4-------4-----------4-------|-4---4-------4-------4-------4---| |-6---------------------------5-6-|-----------------6---------------| |---------------------------------|---------------------------------| repeat above 4 bars |---------------------------------|---------------------------------| |---------4---------------4-------|---------4---------------4-------| |-----4-------4-------4-----------|-----7-------7-------7-------7---| |-6---------------6-----------5-6-|-9---------------9---------------| |---------------------------------|---------------------------------| |---------------------------------|---------------------------------| |---------------------------------|---------------------------------| |---------4---------------4-------|---------4-----------------------| |-----6-------6-------6-------6---|-----3-------3-----------3-------| |-8---------------8---------------|-5-------------------4-------4---| |---------------------------------|-----------------6---------------| |---------------------------------|---------------------------------| repeat above 4 bars Lead part: no capo w/ distortion (hold bend---------------) * slight P.H. |-----------------------|-------------|---------------| |-14b(1)rb(1)----14--14-|-14------14r-|-11^14^11------| |-----------------------|-------------|---------------| |-----------------------|-------------|---------------| |-----------------------|-------------|---------------| |-----------------------|-------------|---------------| * slight P.H. |-----------------|---------|-----------------|----------| |-----------------|---------|-----------------|----------| |-10b(.5)------10-|-11------|-10--------------|----------| |-----------------|---------|-----11--11b(1)r-|-8---8----| |-----------------|---------|-----------------|----------| |-----------------|---------|-----------------|----------| * P.H. |-----------|-18--18pb(1)r16----|--19-19-19b(1)r--| |-----------|-------------------|-----------------| |--------15-|-------------------|-----------------| |-8-----x---|-------------------|-----------------| |-----------|-------------------|-----------------| |-----------|-------------------|-----------------| |-18^19^18^16-18---16-|-16-15b(.5)r-12-11----------| |---------------------|-------------------14-12-14-| |---------------------|----------------------------| |---------------------|----------------------------| |---------------------|----------------------------| |---------------------|----------------------------| (hold bend-----------------) * gradual bend |-------------------------|---------------|-------------------| |-14b(1)rb(1)-------14-14-|-14-------r^12-|-11----11-11-11----| |-------------------------|---------------|----------------13-| |-------------------------|---------------|-------------------| |-------------------------|---------------|-------------------| |-------------------------|---------------|-------------------| |--------------------| |--------------------| |-12-------12-13b(1)-| |--------------------| |--------------------| |--------------------| (continues during verse) Verse ----- Continuation of lead part: |------|------------|--------| |-12---|------11-12-|-11-----| |------|------------|--------| |------|------------|--------| |------|------------|--------| |------|------------|--------| Play rhythm figure from intro underneath lyrics: Take me away to the quiet place Where the doors of perception open wide Smiling faces greet me there Loved and lost, lost inside Take me away to the netherworld Where we dance in the waves, the universe shines The place that holds my beautiful dream When I awake, I look to the sky and Chorus ------ Play first 15 bars of intro rhythm figure underneath lyrics: Pray that I will live forever The sorrowed man will not be me Today I'll change my life forever For what I've seen must surely be 16th bar: |---------------------------------| |---------4-----------------------| |-----3-------3-------------------| |-5-------------------------------| |-----------------6---4-----------| |-------------------------7---6---| Interlude --------- arranged for one guitar -
