Crimson Ballroom Tabs

(ver. 1)
Hellacopters
I saw another tab for this song and I couldn't see how it could be helpful 'cause it
a very good one. Until this really nice guy came along called "Belford" that came up 
a
good tab for the song. I found it floating around on the net and no one had posted it on 
tab site yet. It's got solos, and pretty much the whole song tabbed part by part. No

Intro: Am G F

You can play those chords in various positions, but I prefer these:

Am G F *1) Am G F
E|--(5)----------------------------- E|---0----3----(1)----|
B|---5----------8------------------- B|---1----3-----1-----|
G|---5----------7------10----------- G|---2----0-----2-----|
D|---7----------9------10----------- D|---2----0-----3-----|
A|---7---------10------8------------ A|---0----x-----3-----|
E|---5------------------------------ E|---x----3-----1-----|

*1) note that the rhythm guitar slides to G chord, 2 frets higher, after that F.
Use your ears! After that intro part comes this thing:

Again, not completely sure, about the end of this solo - it's so friggin' fast. Maybe if
could slow that down a bit...

B|----17b--17-15--------------------------------|
G|------------------17-14-14-14-----------------|

Strings’ solo begins exactly when Nicke’s ends, so you gotta be fast if want to play both.

Strings's solo: only slight bend in the beginning
