Before the Dawn  Judas Priest

BEFORE THE DAWN
Judas Priest
(From the 1978 Album KILLING MACHINE (HELL BENT FOR LEATHER IN THE USA))
Gtr I (E A D G B E) - 'Acoustic'
Gtr II (E A D G B E) - 'Lead guitar(overdriven guitar)'
Slow number of Judas Priest,very weird indeed for them, but I like it
b - bend
r - bend release (if no number after the r, then release immediately)
/ - slide into (from)
\ - slide out of (/to "nowhere")
S - shift slide
<n> - natural harmonic
(n) - artificial harmonic
~ - vibrato
= - hold bend; also acts as connecting device for hammers/pulls
() - still ringing the previous note.

Lyrics:
Before the dawn, I hear you whisper
In your sleep "donā??t let the morning take him"
Outside the birds begin to call
As if to summon up my leaving
Itā??s been a lifetime since I found someone
Since I found someone who would stay
Iā??ve waited too long, and now youā??re leaving
Oh please donā??t take it all away
Itā??s been a lifetime since I found someone
Since I found someone who would stay
Iā??ve waited too long, and now youā??re leaving
Oh please donā??t take it all away
Before the dawn, I hear you whisper
In your sleep "donā??t let the morning take him"
