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.

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!

I found several mistakes in my own tab.
In the refrain:
7p9
5p7
...it's hardly possible to pull to a higher note. This must be a "s" for slide not a "p".
Then the Text at the bridge is "'Cause seasons change but we are still the same" and "...even though the cold winds blow..."
Some one reminded me of this lyric mistakes, but sorry, I've deleted your mail accidently.
The whole lyrics can be found at hammerfall.net
I found a few mistakes of my own.I haven`t tabbed my version of this song yet,but played by me and other guitarists we`d like you to know.Ahem,The intro is based on E and A not E and G.Now its open E and slide A.Just so you know...this is my opinion of the song (how 'tis played.But,then agian i could be wrong.)
First off.Lemme correct you.and enlighten you..The lyric clearly is for seasons changed but we are still the same you put "??? has changed but we are still the same.." which is fine aslong as you know the song.the second error thar confused my friend is "...even though the clown..." There's no clown..Its even though the cold wind...my friend listened to the song for 30 minutes and couldn't find it.
