          Blind Guardian - Nightfall in middle-earth

Greeting Blind Guardian fans, here is my Into the Storm tab, I could
not find any tab on the net, so i decided to do it myself.Im not a
very good guitarist, so don't go mad if you discover some bad tabbing
in this tab (or the whole file!) I believe I atleast got the whole
intro right.

Intro
-----

E|--------------------------------------|-------------------|
B|--------------------------------------|-------------------|
G|--------------------------------------|-13----13-12-------|
D|-----11-----9-----12p11-11-11p9-------|----11-------11-9--|
A|--------------------------------10/11-|-------------------|
e|-9-9----9-9---9-9---------------------|-------------------|
P.M .    . .   . .
Repeat the first part twice and then

E|--------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------|
G|-13----13-13------9-TREMOLO-DOWN-&-UP-|
D|----11-------11-9-11------------------|
A|--------------------------------------|
e|--------------------------------------|

Verse #1
--------
Give it to me,
I must have it
precious treasure
I deserve it

w/ this Riff   When you've reached the third line break into this with the
E|-------------|second guitar:
B|---------5---|   D|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-and-so-on-|
G|-----4---4-4-|  P.M . . . . . . . . .
D|-6-----5-----|
A|-4-4---------|
e|-------------|
P.M. .

Now this part is very much like the earlier, just on a higher level.

Verse #2
--------
Where can I run
How can I hide
The Silmarils
Gems of treelight
Their life belongs to me

E|-------------|   meanwhile guitar 2 does some really wird stuff,
B|-------7-----|   i think he's mutes the bass string with his left hand...
G|-8-6---6--6--|   or somethin' like that, neatly fitted between the tones
D|-----9-------|   from guitar 1
A|-------------|
e|-------------|  A|-6-x-x-x-x-|
	      
If you ain't satisfied with the part above, do this combination thing below

E|-------------------|
B|---------------7---|
G|---8---6-------6--6|
D|-----------9-------|
A|-6---6---6---6-----|
e|-------------------|
P.M.   .   .   .

Now there's this pre chorus wich I can't figure out right

Pre Chorus
----------
Oh, It's sweet how the darkness is floating around...

Because im a worthless transcriber, I don't dare to write down the
high pitched stuff.

Chorus
------

I suspect this isn't really a guitar, rather a synt, but anyway...

E|-------------------|
B|-11----11-10-------|
G|-------------------|
D|----13-------13p11-|

       We're following the will of the one... 
G|-8-------------------------6-----------8----|-15p13-15-11h13-15p13-15-|
D|-8--------------9----------6-----------8----|-------------------------|
A|-6--------------9----------4-----------6----|-------------------------|
e|----------------7---------------------------|-------------------------|
   ... Through the dark age and into the storm
G|-(8)-----------------------6----------------|
D|-(8)------------9----------6-----------9----|
A|-(6)------------9----------4-----------9----|
e|----------------7----------------------7----|

skip the first power chord when you repeat the chorus, and then...

Lord I'm mean!!!!!

Bridge
------

G|---------------------------| 
D|-1-----4p3-4---------3-----| 
A|-----------------------6p4-| 
e|---0-0-------0-0-0-0-------|
P.M  . .       . . . .  

Now this fourth verse part comes, witch is a little different from the
first one, unfortunatly i don't have the strenght to tabb it right
now--

Verse #4
--------
Blackheart show me, what you hold in your hand,
I still hunger for more
Release me 
From my pain
Give it to meee!!!

Funky synt part comes

How I need it!
How I need it!!!
HOW I NEED IT!!!!!!

and then repeat from verse two. When you come to the bridge part break
into the solo instead.

Solo 1
------

Unfortunatly, im a worthless solo tabber, and this one ain't short so,
I'v only got the beginning (and I don't even know if that's right!)

B|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----15-15-14-15-----15-15-14-15-----15-15-14-15-14^-14^-14^-14^-|
D|-/13-------------/13-------------/13-----------------------------|
			    FROM THIS PART, DON'T TRUST MY TAB!
B|----------------------------------|-------------------------------|
G|----15-14h15p14-13----13-15-13----|-14-15-13h15----------------15-|
D|-13----------------16----------16-|-------------16-15-13-15-16----|

B|-----------------------------------------------------------------------
G|-15----------15----------15--------------------------14-15-17-15h17p15-
D|----16-15-13----16-15-13----16-15-13-15-16--13-15-16-------------------

B|-------------|
G|-14----------|
D|----16-15-16-|

And that was the incomplete dirty tabbed solo!

Now theres some other version of the intro and then


Verse #6 (same riff as Verse #1)
--------
I did my part
Now it's your turn
And remember
What you've promised

and then repeat from verse two again. After the bridge break into

Outro
--------------
R1 repeat 3x      R2
B|----------------|------------------------------|
G|----------13-12-|-8-x-x-x-10-x-x-x-11-x-x-x-15-|
D|-13-11-13-------|-9-x-x-x-11-x-x-x-13-x-x-x-13-|
A|----------------|------------------------------|

Play the first part over again and then:

R4 repeat 3x	
B|----------------------|
G|-11-10-11----11-------|	(I think this is orginally synt)
D|----------13----13-12-|
A|----------------------|

end the song with this

G|----------------------|
D|----------14-15^------|
A|-13-15-16----13^------|

Nice and neat!
