From:_Paul_D_
Subject:_TAB:_"Empire"_by_Queensryche_(FINALLY!)
"Empire"_by_Queensryche-->
First_off,_theres_the_intro_riff_which_is_also_the_chorus_part:
repeat_4x
E-|-----------------------------------------------------||
B-|-----------------------------------------------------||
G-|-2-2--2-4-2-----2---5-4-----5---7-5-----7---5--4h5-7-||
D-|-2-2--3-3-3-----3---3-3-----3---5-5-----5---5------5-||
A-|-0-0--------0-0---0-----0-0---0-----0-0---0----------||
E-|-----------------------------------------------------||
After_you_go_through_that_twice,_however,_there_is_this_little_bit_of_lead
that_kinda_copies_the_vocal_line_of_the_chorus:
E-|----------------------------------|----------------------------------------|
B-|-9b10r9---------------------------|-10--10----10-12--12-10-12-13--13-12-13-|
G-|--------9-10---10-b12r10--9h10----|--------12------------------------------|
D-|-------------------------------12-|----------------------------------------|
A-|----------------------------------|----------------------------------------|
E-|----------------------------------|----------------------------------------|
E-|------------------------|
B-|-12b15r12-12h13-10~~~~~~|
G-|------------------------|
D-|------------------------|
A-|------------------------|(rhythm_guitar_ends_on_A5)
E-|------------------------|
The_A5_is_sustained_throughout_the_verses_with_a_few_changes_like_so:
A5
Last_night_the_word_came_down
(A5)_________________G5_C5_A5
Ten_dead_in_Chinatown
(A5)
Innocent,_their_only_crime
________B5___________________slide_to_C5______A5
Was_bein_in_the_wrong_place_at_the_wrong_time
(A5)
"Too_bad",_people_say,
(A5)____________________________G5_C5_A5
"Whats_wrong_with_the_kids_today?"
(A5)
Ill_tell_you_right_now_they_got_nothin_to_lose
G5_______________F5______A5
Theyre_building_EMPIRE.
Then_this_little_lead_bit:__B-|--8b10-(10)-(10)--|_(sustained_indefinitely)
While_the_rhythm_(once_again)_stays_on_A5.__Do_the_whole_verse_bit
over_again_for_the_second_verse.
Heres_the_pre-chorus_with_some_lyrics_below_to_help_you_keep_up_(repeat
the_first_section_twice,_then_do_the_last_bit_right_before_the_chorus):
E-|--------------------------------------------------------------||-------|
B-|-6---6-6-3--3-3--8--8-8-6--6-6--6--6-6-3--3-3-----------------||-------|
G-|-5---5-5-2--2-2--7--7-7-5--5-5--5--5-5-2--2-2---5--5-5-5--5-5-||-------|
D-|-0---0-0-0--0-0--0--0-0-0--0-0--0--0-0-0--0-0---5--5-5-5--5-5-||-3/5-5-|
A-|------------------------------------------------3--3-3-3--3-3-||-3/5-5-|
E-|--------------------------------------------------------------||-1/3-3-|
___East_side_______________Meets___West_side_______downtown_____.
___No___time_________________the___walls_fall______down_____.
After_the_second_chorus,_play_this_right_before_the_bridge_(the
"bridge"_is_what_I_call_the_part_where_that_guy_does_the_commentary_on
law_enforcement):
E-|-----------------------||
B-|-----------------------||
G-|-5-----5-----5-/7~~~~~-||
D-|-5--5--5--5--5-/7~~~~~-||
A-|-3--5--3--5--3-/5~~~~~-||
E-|----3-----3------------||
Then_play_this_part_clean_(actually_with_chorus_and_slight_delay...
but_what_the_hell)_during_the_commentary:
E-|-0---------------------------3-------------------||
B-|-3----3--3h5--3----5-6-5-3---3---5----5-6--5h6p5-||
G-|-2----3-------2----5-5-5-2---0---5----5-5--5-----||
D-|-0-----------------------------------------------||(repeat_4x)
A-|-------------------------------------------------||
E-|-------------------------------------------------||
(When_the_commentary_gets_to_"By_way_of_comparison..."_a_second_guitar
should_start_chunging_out_an_open_D_string_with_distortion_and_palm
muting.)
Then_theres_the_solo_and_the_chorus_a_few_times_until_the_end.__Theres
also_a_bit_of_lead_stuff_(guitar_harmonization_between_Chris_and_Michael)
over_the_last_couple_of_choruses;_really_nifty_lead_work...but_Im_not
going_to_tab_it!
The_lyrics_to_the_second_verse_are:
"Black_man_trapped_again,
Holds_his_chains_in_his_hand.
Brother_killing_brother_for_the_profit_of_another.
Game_point...nobody_wins.
Decline_right_on_time.
What_happened_to_the_dream_sublime?
Tear_it_down_well_put_it_up_again.
Another_EMPIRE!"
The_following_are_the_"lyrics"_to_the_commentary:
"In_fiscal_year_1986_to_87,_local,_state,_and_federal_governments
spent_a_combined_total_of_60.6_billion_dollars_on_law_enforcement.
Federal_law_enforcement_expenditures_ranked_last_in_absolute_dollars
and_accounted_for_only_a_sixth_percent_of_all_federal_spending.
By_way_of_comparison,_the_federal_government_spent_24_million_more_on
space_exploration_and_43_TIMES_more_on_national_defense_and
international_relations_than_on_law_enforcement."
Once_again,_youll_have_to_do_this_"sans_solo"_cause_leads_are_a_pain_in
my_ass_to_tab_out.__But_put_all_the_pieces_together_and_youll_have
something_that_vaguely_resembles_Queensryches_"Empire".__Tis_a_great_song
and_a_great_album.__Email_me_and_be_REAL_nice_and_I_might_be_pursuaded_to
tab_out_the_solo_after_all...
Corrections/comments/augmentations_are_most_welcome_and_will_be_promptly
responded_to_(but_only_if_you_email_them_to_me).
GOOD_LUCK!
