In Tears Bereaved by Dark Tranquillity
In Tears Bereaved
I have my guitar tuned to Eb (all down 1/2 step), although DT might play it
in another tuning. I know most DT stuff is in this tuning though.
ALMOST ALL OF THE SONG IS TREMOLO PICKED!!!
I know many parts could be played on multiple strings to make it easier
(such as Riff B), but I like the sound of the wound strings better so I usually
stay on the lower strings. Simply move the notes if you want. The timing in the
tab is VERY approximated, listen to the song and figure it out yourself.
I spaced the notes out for a very general idea to help you along. I hope the position
in seconds will be very helpful as I have always found it to be. Also, the first
35 seconds is REALLY confusing with timing so be careful. Riff J has a harmony that I am
too lazy to figure out, and I left out a part that is too hard to hear around the 3:00 mark.
But hey, it's better than nothing, right!? I only proofread this once, could be errors still. Oh, and I recommend viewing this in notepad at 1024x768 resolution or higher to make sure the lines don't wrap.

2:35-3:11...Figure this out for yourself! Three guitars goin at one point but I can't hear them well.
Repeat Riff J 2x (3:11)
Repeat Riff D 2x (3:27)
Repeat Riff A 2x (3:38)...Read below for details...
At 3:38, play Riff A VERY QUICKLY with endings 1 and 2, except add an open D string to the end,
so the final ending look like this...

Beautiful, oh web of stars
that looms amid the sons of Earth
Enfolds me in thine sylvan arms
that unity's vehement charms
befalls a weary son of Earth
Beautiful, in tears bereaved
in sylphlike sadness, left to bleed
Bewailed upon a bed of thorns,
impaled, a heart, on sorrow's horns
A seeker's ode to thee I read
My tearful soul thy mourning heed
The stream that leaves thine open wounds;
A life-blood licked by hungry hounds
No verdant balm to soothe our wounds
Wherefore betwixt two worlds I'm torn
Ere thralled by sin I'll die - forlorn
This slumbering world of shallow fools
may one day clasp the cosmic Hell
lest journeymen by Earthen rules
bring forth the truth for which Angels fell
To the earth and sky and sea
I call that thou may answer me;
Father of Nature, of beast and mankind,
my soul for thy love, my tears for thy pain
...An Eden in fire,
what lives shan't remain
For when I live under a different sky,
beneath the ethereal hills the clouds passing by
Remember the time of which I cried to be part
Remember these words, for they have flown
from my heart.
