GRIEG - "in the hall of the mountain king" Tablature
Official GRIEG Tablature & Sheet Music »
Song : "In The Hall Of The Mountain King"
Artist: Edvard Greig
Tabbed By ApeXaviour (apeXaviour@hotmail.com)
Tuning: Standard
A simpler version
Well the classic tune that barely anybody knows the name of,
yet everybody knows the tune to it,
and will begin humming along to it as soon as you start playing it.
People around me bellow out the strangest words when I play this.
Usually consisting of: "Dum dum dum dum"
But occassionally I get the: "Hey thats that dances of fairies song right?"
Or: "Hey, you ripped that off the Alton Towers TV add. Didn't you!?"
Or even (you must imagine this said by a homosexual lah-deedaah man with a lisp):
"OH MY GOD its the YOGURT SONG!!!"
Anyway, I could play it on the piano since I was a kid,
and just translated onto the Guitar.
Email me if you've got any major problems with it,
and you want to shout obscenities at me
Insanely simple to learn!
Play it in Staccato if you can,
except for the two notes I labeled "let ring".

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official GRIEG tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
