---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Blackest Day - Annihilator ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Kiel Hufton E-mail: Kiel.Hufton@gmail.com Tuning: Drop D This is the first song I learned by ear and sat down to write the tab for. As there were no tabs for this song while I was looking. I have not been able to work out the solos by ear yet, but when I get time I will figure them out and update the tab. Intro/Verse x8 (Guitar 2 comes in second time) e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
