Helloween tabs
FUTURE WORLD
Words & music by Kai Hansen
From the HELLOWEEN album KEEPER OFF THE SEVEN KEYS part I (Noise, 1987)
Transcribed by: Tom Grana
Well, well true metal heads. Here's a complete TAB version of one of the
best metal tunes ever, Helloween's Future World, from their awsome Keeper...1.
The song is pretty easy ecxept some of the stuff in the solo, and the first
verse and the bridge require a fast and strong right hand. Though I'm not sure
how to hit those E5 chords at the end of each verse. I think the timing should
be correct. If you think there are some mistakes in my transcription, please
E-mail me at metaltom@hotmail.com

Guitar 1: Kai
Guitar 2: Weiki
Guitar 3: Sorry, I can't tell if it's Kai or Weiki
Played in 4/4 at 195 bmp

or you bend the string two whole step. Both these things are unfortnally a extreme
