Aritst: Hammerfall
Song: "Hearts on Fire"
tabbed by Florian Wolff (flowolff@web.de) 

I don't think this song has much sense. I neither think it is a good song. But I 
like Hammerfall, so I sat down and tabbed this.

I've watched the video once, but I can't really remember anything but the 
skeletons :-) I first thought they play it with capo, but then I realized that 
they have got a deep E in the bridge and even a deep Eb in the chorus. So I think 
it's pretty difficult to play some parts (e.g. the intro) without capo, because you 
need a well trained pinkie. I also tried to drop the E to a D but it didn't get more easy.

tune half-step down

now it get's really difficult (I had to slow it down to 50% to tab it)

Eb--10h13--t17p13p10-----t17p13p10-t18p13p10-t22p17p13-----13h17-

The next part is played with harmonizer and a later even with a second guitar. 
So you need pretty much to know (too much for me) about harmonics. I only tab the
"basic notes".

[Interlude]
First we have bass only

the "Hearts"-tones are simple Eb's:
Eb----------
Bb----------
Gb---------- either they bend or they slide down, I prefer sliding
Db----9\----
Ab----7\----
Eb----0-----

Then we got the [Refrain] again

[Outro]
Eb------------------------------------------------------------------
Bb------------------------------------------------------------------
Gb------------------------------------------------------------------
Db---------------------------------------3--------------------------
Ab-------------6-----3--5-----------6-------5-----------6-----3--5--
Eb----3--3--3-----3--------3--3--3-----3-------3--3--3-----3--------
      .  .  .     .         .  .  .     .      .  .  .     .

guitar II
Db----5-5-----------------5-5-----------------5-5--------------3-5--
Ab----5-5-----------------5-5-----------------5-5--------------3-5--
Eb----3-3-----------------3-3-----------------3-3--------------1-3--

the weird end note looks kinda this
Eb--------------
Bb----13--15---- 
Gb-------------- use wah-wah and maybe the tremolo
Db-------------- 

...and that's it.

Enjoy Hammerfall and the tab. Any corrections welcome!
