Song: Untie Me
Artist: Ancient of Days
Album: self-titled
Tabbed by: William Giacchi (axeman@iolvegas.com)

This song alternates between clean and distorted electric tones
(specifically, PRS guitars through Marshall stacks :-), as noted.
The band has two guitar players, so what is heard on the CD may
differ slightly from my interpretation. The tempo is pretty slow,
somewhere around 70-80 bpm.

Tune to Drop D.

Intro (clean):
E--------------------------
B--------------------------
G-7-7-7-77-7-7/12-12-11--11		x4
D-x-x-x-xx-x-x—x—x—x---x
A-5-5-5-55-5-5/10-10--9---9
D-0-0-0-00-0---------------


Then intro 2/post-chorus (distorted):
E---------------------|---------
B---------------------|---------
G-12-11-14-11-12-11-7-|-12-12-11		x4
D—x—x—x—x—x—x-x-|--x—x—x
A-10--9-12--9-10--9-5-|-10-10--9
D---------------------|---------
				   ^	

One guitar plays this
as the other lets the 
D octave ring out. On 
certain repetitions, 
one guitar plays a 
higher D octave (xx19x17x)

Verse (clean):
E---------------------------------------------------------------------

Bass Fill:

D-x-x—x-x—x---x—x—x		x4
A-5-5--5-5--5--10-10--9

Then it goes back to intro 2/post-chorus x4
Verse x5
Chorus x4
Intro 2/post-chorus x4
End on Verse x2


And there it is! Have fun playing this one, the band sure does in concert!
This is such a great song in music and lyrics; I can't listen to this
song without my heart crying to God to free me from the bondage of this
world. I hope you guys are as blessed by Ancient of Days' ministry as I
am. God bless.
