title: THE PRICE YOU PAY
author: Savatage
album: Hall of the mountain king
tabbed by: Benjamin Gheysels (Flanders)
date: 2005-7-12

I couldn't find a tab for this great song, so I decided to make it myself. It's not a
100% accurate, but it's close. I've mentioned between brackets when a new riff begins
(e.g. the rhythm for solo 1 begins after 15 seconds).

Use distortion and chorus
