BETWEEN HEAVEN AND HELL"

The riff during the VERSE is the following. I transcribed it in sixteenths,

the 1,2,3,4 indicate the quarters, the 1,+,2,+,3,+,4,+ indicate the eighths.

The dududududu is NOT the text (duh?), it means d for downstroke and u for 

upstroke. The rhythm's a little simplified to make tapping it on the computer

easier.

I play the x (like the p.m.) by lying the palm of my right hand on the

strings near the bridge. 

(The ^ (hammer-on) spoils the appearance of the fourth bar a little.)

                                      *First you hold only the low E

                                       string in the first fret (F)

                                       then you 'hammer on' the other

                                       strings by lying the index on

                                       the neck.



OK, just to make it more obvious, the full chords once again:



            ?Fsus2/

    G   Em  maj7?   Cadd9 

e---3---0---0-------0------

b---3---0---0-------1------Or however they're called...

g---0---0---2-------0------

d---0---2---3-------0------

A---2---2---3-------3------

E---3---0---1-------x------





Now the CHORUS. To be honest, I did'nt figure it really. I play the baseline

and the basic chords. The arpeggios he plays I just can't reproduce. However

this sounds right and must be good enough for now (great for playing alone!):



     G       Dsus4       Cadd9                     C  (let ring)

e-I--3-------3---3-3-x---3-----------I-----I-----I-0---------------------I

     1   +   2   +   3   +   4   +      repeat

     d u d u d u d u d u d u d u d u 





The OUTRO goes like this (now I'm rather accurate again!):



                                           Gsus4 G 

e-I---------------------------I-----I-----I--3----------------------I

                                            let ring

OK, that was the rhythm guitar. 

While the second guitar plays the above (Hy Fabien!), I play the harp-part

on electric guitar in my band, try it:

     d u d u d u d  u d u d u d u  d u     d u d u d u d u d u d u d u d u

     d u d u d u d  u d u d u d u d   u    d u d u d u d u d u d u d u d u



That's all. As usual the solo is missing. My excuse is, that I wrote my own

solopart over the eighth bars in the middle of the song and I like it even 

more than Zakk's!!! (although he's still my idol)



lyrics as in the cd-booklet:

verse1

Dying to live, living to die

ain't no hellos here

nothing but goodbye

its like singing a song

that cannot be sung

its like having to end child

whats yet to have begun



chorus

hey, hey, hey, hey, now I'm lost somewhere

between heaven and hell



verse2

all that you know and all that you knew

in the end child, tell me whats it all mean to you?

dont forget just who and where you are

you can spread your wings son

but dont you spread yourself too far



For the succession of the parts listen to Zakk and the band...

I know its NOT that, but this sounds good anyway.

Correct this, I'll learn it!
