One_of_the_best_songs_from_Queensryches_new_album,_"American_Soldier".
The_lyrics_are_inspired_by_the_near-death_experience_of_Geoff_Tates_father,
Perry_Tate,_a_US_Army_veteran_who_was_wounded_in_combat.
This_song_uses_a_lot_of_keyboards,_but_it_can_also_be_played_quite_nicely
with_these_chords.
Thanks_to_Powerslave88_and_Rich_P._from_www.anybodylistening.net_for
their_immense_help_-_this_tab_is_actually_the_result_of_their_work.
Two_guitars_in_this_song_-_one_of_them_plays_the_riffs_during_the_intro_and_
interlude,_while_during_the_verses_and_chorus,_they_both_play_rhythm_parts.
Intro:
A_simple_riff_on_the_E_string...
