This next part is done without the chords thrown in between, but they do this live and I

it sounds so much cooler.  If you prefer the official studio version, take all the

off of the D and G string that I’ve written and there you go.  (You’ll need to add a few 

the A string, but just listen to the song, it’s a very simple part).

Chorus: Once again, this is similar to that part of the verse where I stated that they

do this live.  And once again, if you want the studio version, take out the chords and

more notes to the root.

Back to the Chorus...



Then go back to the Intro...and fade out.



I hope this was helpful! I could not find any good tabs for this song, so I thought I

go ahead and make one since it is by far Kamelots BEST song =)



I did my best on the solo...in the song, they have the guitar volume too low for me to

exactly what he’s playing, but oh well.  This was fun, and I hope to find another song in

of tablature.



You can go ahead and print this out, use it for anything you want, but please contact me

posting it elsewhere.  Thanks! ~Tap Master
