Bat Out Of Hell
Words and Music by Jim Steinman

Tabbed By:
Caleb Pedercini
Special Thanks to:
Eric Despard

Here it is boys and girls the complete tab to Bat Out of Hell. Hope you like it.

This is probably the best tab you'll find online.
For the solo, it's not completley accurate but you can improvise a little if you want.
This song is best played on a guitar with a whammy bar. Since my guitar doesn't have one
have altered it a little.

The timing might be off in some spots, just listen to the recording. The rythym is not
but listen to the recording and you'll get it.

Whammy Bar Dive = Motorcycle crash

Now I’m dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun.
Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike.

And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell.
And the last thing I see is my heart, still beating.
Breaking out of my body, and flying away
Like a bat out of hell.
