Here are the 8 main rythm riffs of the song. Now coming the lyrics
and the riff wich you must play:
Powder & Iron
\
Riff 1 (x1) |
Riff 2 (x2) | ---> This is played like Intro, without lyrics,
Riff 3 (x4) | but with some lead guitar fills over.
/
Riff 4 (x2)
Thunder shakes the wooden hull, the rigging breaks like glass
the cannons fire consistently, their enemy to blast
Pirate vessel's changing course, the Navy's giving chase
The tactic of entangeling is the gauntlet in their face
Riff 2 (x2)
Riff 4 (x2)
Powderkegs and ironballs, thunder cracks the rail
Splintered masts and tattered ropes, the fire eats the sail
The lion-heart's the only way to overcome the fight
Back to back no fear at all, the pirates are standing tight
Riff 5 (x2)
Lightning strikes, smokescreen bites, a wall of fire is on the horizon
Fading breath, too much death, too much blood and too much pain
Riff 6 (x2)
Powder & iron, gun down the flags
In rapid succession the thunder will crack
Powder & iron, the fire will blow
The devil is waiting to take their souls away
Riff 2 (x2)
Riff 4 (x2)
The privateers are in the plight, cornered by the fleet
The mariners are trying hard, their gallow-poles to feed
The pirate vessel's sailing fast, firing a round
The naval-ship is on the lose, sinking to the ground
Riff 5 (x2)
Lightning strikes, smokescreen bites, a wall of fire is on the horizon
Fading breath, too much death, too much blood and too much pain
Riff 6 (x2)
Powder & iron, gun down the flags
In rapid succession the thunder will crack
Powder & iron, the fire will blow
The devil is waiting to take their souls away
Riff 2 (x2)
Riff 7 (x2)
Riff 4 (x4) <----- played with Guitar solo
Riff 5 (x2)
Lightning strikes, smokescreen bites, a wall of fire is on the horizon
Fading breath, too much death, too much blood and too much pain
Riff 6 (x4)
Powder & iron, gun down the flags
In rapid succession the thunder will crack
Powder & iron, the fire will blow
The devil is waiting to take their souls away
Powder & iron, gun down the flags
In rapid succession the thunder will crack
Powder & iron, the fire will blow
The devil is waiting to take their souls away
Riff 2 (x2)
Riff 8 (x1) ---> played as outro, let ring the last note.
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.
