Ok. There are some strange (?) markings in this tab. I didn't want to
write that power chord strumming in tab because it takes some space (and
I'm lazy also ;). So I tried to figure out a better (?) way to write it
and I came up with this: '/'. It isn't a new invention but it lacks timing,
so I placed between strokes either '-' or '='. If there is '-' (one or
more) between strokes, they are 1/8 notes. If there is '=', they are 1/16
notes. I might have marked whether it is upstroke or downstroke but the
strumming is mostly palm muted so it doesn't matter. Tempo is someting
like 168.
Tell me what you think about it. Enjoy!
H = Hammer on, P = Pull off, Ah = Artificial harmonic, --3-- = triol

We're taking over your vessel whatever you try

Guns spitting iron and fire, acrid snoke clouding the air
Ripping the planks, feeding the flame of despair
Hoisting the flag of surrender, delivering their silver and gold
A generous gift to the poor, for the brothers they sold

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 RUNNING WILD 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.
