Apocalypse Please

Album – Absolution
Tuning: Dropped C# (or standard if 
you don`t play the bassnotes)

If you also play the intro then the 
higher notes will have more... 
impact, shall I say it.

Intro:

D|                    
A|times or something. 
C|                    

On the CD you can hear at the end of
 "Intro” someone saying something. 
(..., it`s time)

And then:

1. Declare this an     emergency. 
Come on and
spread a sense of urgency.        
And pull us
2. It`s time we saw a miracle.    
Come on it`s
time for something biblical       
And pull us
3. Proclaim eternal victory.      
Come on and
change the course of history.     
And pull us

You can also pick the notes a string
 higher, if you want
that version P.M.

Outro/solo (my best attempt) Major 
key is F#/C# if you want to 
improvise.
