Tabs

Artist: Black Label Society
Album: Order Of The Black
Song: Overlord

Tuning (Low to High): DGCFAD

Intro:
Set the volume on the guitar to around 3 or 4. Using a Wah is optional, but gives a more
authentic sound.

D MajorD|---------------------------------|

FF|-----------2-4^5-4--2-2-----2----|
C majorC|-4-4-4-2-4--------------2-2------|
G+G|---------------------------------|
D MajorD|---------------------------------|

Play this 4 times, and on the last note of the 4th repeat, add a little vibrato and
swell the volume on the guitar to 10.

Main Riff:

G+G|-4-4-4-2-4-0-2^3-2--0-0--2-2-0---|
D MajorD|-2-2-2-0-2---------------0-0-----|

Play this 4 times also, on the 4th time, the drums have a fill and the lyrics kick in.

Solo:
This solo isn't 100% perfect, but I find it fits fairly well if played at the same tempo.

Back to the main riff, then play the chorus once more and then play the main riff 'til
the end.

Feel free to rate and/or comment, but most of all, play it loud!
Enjoy guys (and gals)
