Chosen Armies Tabs

(ver. 1)
Children Collide
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuning: Standard

I tabbed this so it would be easier to play, especially on 21-fretted guitars.

Intro - All tremolo (picking fast)
                                 _
e|----------------------------    ||
B|--5/--9/--12/--3\--2/--3\---    ||
G|----------------------------    ||  x4
D|----------------------------    ||
A|----------------------------    ||
E|----------------------------   _||

You could probably get away with using you index finger and simply sliding to each note.
On second run-through, bass comes in, and after two more repeats, the next riff plays.
                                 _
e|------16--19----------------    ||
B|--17----------15--14--15----    ||
G|----------------------------    ||  x3
D|----------------------------    ||
A|----------------------------    ||
E|----------------------------   _||

e|------16--19----------------|
B|--17----------15--14--15~~--|
G|----------------------------|
D|----------------------------|
A|----------------------------|
E|----------------------------|
On the fourth run-through of this riff:
Hold the 15, and play around with some effects until about 00:25

Verse.

Now for the verse, it's basically the same chord just with a rhythm of up and down 
sweeps of the pick.

Try not to hit the e, B and E strings, at least, not yet

"Sound in time until I find a place where I can touch the frozen ground"...
e|------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------|
G|--13-13-13--13--13----13--13--13-13-13----|
D|--14-14-14--14--14----14--14--14-14-14----|
A|--14-14-14--14--14----14--14--14-14-14----|
E|------------------------------------------|


Now change to a bar chord. I'm not entirely sure on the chord but it sounds about right.

"Are we waiting?"...
e|--12-12-12--12--12----12--12--12-12-12----|
B|--12-12-12--12--12----12--12--12-12-12----|
G|--13-13-13--13--13----13--13--13-13-13----|
D|--14-14-14--14--14----14--14--14-14-14----|
A|--14-14-14--14--14----14--14--14-14-14----|
E|--12-12-12--12--12----12--12--12-12-12----|

Chorus.

Now we get to the ...chorus? Anyway, it's the part where the song suddenly 
distorts itself to shreds.
e|-----------------------------|
B|-----------------------------|
G|--------9--9--7--7--3-3-3-3--|
D|--2--2--9--9--7--7--3-3-3-3--|
A|--2--2--7--7--5--5--1-1-1-1--|
E|--0--0-----------------------|

e|------------------------------|
B|------------------------------|
G|--------9--9--7--7----^3------|(sharply bend this one up and hold)
D|--2--2--9--9--7--7------------|
A|--2--2--7--7--5--5------------|
E|--0--0------------------------|

e|-----------------------------|
B|-----------------------------|
G|--------9--9--7--7--3-3-3-3--|
D|--2--2--9--9--7--7--3-3-3-3--|
A|--2--2--7--7--5--5--1-1-1-1--|
E|--0--0-----------------------|

Back to Intro
Repeat both riffs twice.

Verse again

Approx. 1:54 - "Lining up like armies marching into brainwashed colourless despair"

Then back to Chorus, hold the ^3 until 3:08

Now for the bass....

And at around 3:35, come back to the Verse "Are we waiting?"

*SCREAM*
3:47

Back to Chorus


Now, overlaid against the Chorus is a tremolo solo-type riff. I've tried to tab it, but 
can't get the 2 notes. I'm pretty sure this sounds about right.

4:00 (All tremolo)
e|--12--19--12--19--12--19--12--19--12--19--12--19--12--19--12--19--12--19---|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

e|--12--^19~-----------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

And hold the 19 while it's bent.
And you're done!

Thanks for reading this, comments/corrections would be great. This is my first tab.
