Chords
Here's the main idea of the riffs, they change slightly
but it shouldn't be too difficult to figure out what
changes. Here's just the main bits. Amon Amarth uses a
B Standard tuning, but my band plays in Drop B, so we use
that tuning when we play any AA stuff. So this is in Drop B.
Intro
Gtr I
-------------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------------| ---8-7-5---8-7-5--7-5-3---8-7-5---10-8-7--8-7-5--| -0-------0--------------0-------0----------------| . . . .

Gtr III
(not quite sure how this works. It sounds like there's three guitars.
Here's the third part anyways, play the part you like.)
------------------------------------------------------| ------------------------------------------------------| ---10-9-7---10-9-7--9-7-5---10-9-7---12-10-9--10-9-7--| ------------------------------------------------------| ------------------------------------------------------| -0--------0---------------0--------0------------------| . . . .
Verse
Gtrs I and II
(Gtr I is the A-string, Gtr II is the D-string)

Chorus
Gtr I
(this is the super epic riff)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------| ---------8----------6------6----------------------------------------------| ---7-------7----5-7---7-----7----5---7------7------7----------------------| -5---------------------------------8---7------7------7-8-10---8-10---8-7--| --------------------------------------------------------------------------| --------------------------------------------------------------------------| Gtr II (let these ring) --------------------------------------------------------------------------| --------------------------------------------------------------------------| --------------------------------------------------------------------------| --------------------------------------------------------------------------| -5------------------8----------------0-----------------3------------------| -5------------------8----------------0-----------------3------------------|
During the vocals the power chords are palm muted and tremolo picked
to the beat of the bass drum.
Interlude/Chorus End
(Both guitars do this, though there's a second harmony riff later on
that I haven't figured out yet.)
