Freedom By: Allen Canterbury (acanterb@mail.vt.edu) Dropped D Tuning Riff 1 G:---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D:---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A:----5-------3---------5-5------5-------3---------5-------------------------| D:------0-3-5---5-3-5-3------0-3---0-3-5---5-3-5-3---------------------------| (the ending of riff 1 is actually varied some--so ad lib at will!) Riff 1 Variant: (this is played instead of Riff 1 a few times--you can hear when to use it--just listen to the CD!) G:---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D:-------------------------------------------------5-4-3---------------------| A:----5-------3---------5-5-----5-------3-----------------5-4-3--------------| D:------0-3-5---5-3-5-3-----0-3---0-3-5---5-3-5-3----------------------------| Then the next part goes like this. Riff 2 for a short while... G:-----------------------------------------------------------------------| D:-----------------------------------------------------------------------| A:-----------------------------------------------------------------------| D:--0--0--R--0-0-0--R--0--0--R--0-0-0--R--0--0--R--0-0-0--R--0--0--------| Then it goes back to Riff 1, and Riff 2. This is followed by a short interlude where only the drums and bass are playing. After spoken: "Anger is a gift..." Riff 3 x10 G---------------------------------| D---------------------------------| A-----3-3-3-3-0-5--5-5-0-3-5------| D---------------------------------| Then a fill, an octave higher...

Riff 3 (x7) (basically just pick really fast next) G--------------------------------------| D--------------------------------------| A--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---| D--------------------------------------| Then Riff 3 (x8) [let the last E in the riff ring going into the Last Riff] Last Riff: The guitar plays this part softly 4 times, then the bass joins in. The guitar gets distorted after a few times then. Be careful, this riff is played the same over and over for bass, but the song has a change in accent, thanks to the drums. x lots of times G:----------------------------------------| D:*--------------------------------------*| A:*----------------0--3--4--5------------*| D:----0--3--5--6--------------------------| Oh...anyways. You get the jist of it. The riffs are there. Just feel the music.
