Until Kingdom Come tab by Kamelot

Kamelot - Until Kingdom Come

Source: 'The Fourth Legacy' & 'The Expedition' - [CD]
Music and Lyrics by: Youngblood/Khan
Tuning: Standard 'E' tuning
Main Time Signature: 4/4
Key Signature: G
Tone/Effects: Distortion, reverb
Tab Accuracy: On the live album, the guitar is tuned down 1/2 step but
it is still fretted as shown here. There is no timing in the tab, you
will have to listen to the song to get the timing of the notes. The
format is a little awkward, but I wanted to get something on the site.
I will improve on it and resubmit. Any comments?

[Riff 1] x1

"In the black of the night she appears..."

(palm mute single notes)

of the Eb5 chord)

Then repeat ONLY the first half of [Riff 1]

G5
In this dream she will show me the door
To a new revelation

G5
And I know that I've seen her before
C5                   Bb5
 That she'll bring me salvation

[Chorus]: (be sure to palm mute single notes here as in [Riff 1])

G5                F5   Eb5
  Like the sun shining down on me
C5             Eb5 [Fill 1] *(shown above)
  Like the breeze on the ocean
G5                 F5 Eb5
  You're the path of my destiny
C5                   Bb5  A5
  I know you will follow me until kingdom come

First half of [Riff 1] again


"When I watch from the tower at night..."

(palm mute single notes)
