Song: In The Shadows
Band: The Rasmus
Album: Dead Letters
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
Tabbed by Andrew

These guys are an awesome band, check them out!  They have one guitarist, but 
there are several guitar parts in this song and they're all tabbed here.  I 
hate saying 'this is 99% right', coz I don't know if it is or not, but I spent 
a while tabbing this, although it is my first tab.  I've looked at their video 
clip for this, and it looks like they play it this way.  I've put two guitars 
in, with the 2nd guitar alternating between doing what could be synth, and some 
distorted guitar bits.  1st guitar is usually on top, 2nd just below.  Listen to 
the song, and figure it out!  
Please rate this tab, and be fair.  :)  Rock on!

* = palm mute with slight left hand mute.
= slide down
[#]= Optional note
~ = tremelo picking
(#) = Harmonic on that fret eg. (7) would be 7th fret harmonic.

Intro - Clean 1st Guitar, 2nd Guitar with some effect or maybe synth.

     Starts with..   (2nd Guitar)

Any comments, corrections or otherwise, mail me at xenolith42@hotmail.com  Enjoy!

P.S. If anyone knows these guys personally, can you tell them to come to Australia and 
play some gigs,
or at least get some of their cds out here.  At the moment I have to order them from America.. 
 Thanks!

No Picture Dusty Wanna Be	#2 by Dusty Delonge at Aug 8, 1977 at 8:08 AM EST

No Picture Chris Average	#3 by Chris Essery at Mar 31, 1980 at 1:23 PM EST

No Picture Ben Rhythm Player	#4 by Ben Jammin at May 16, 1981 at 2:41 AM EST
	The songs starts off so sad. Like some one is lost and the need a cure for the pain of life.......and cancer relates to a uncurable thing. and song one lives in the dark side of life. and to me its like you need to kill before you escape the people, yet killing yourself would just make the pain go away.

No Picture Zane Rhythm Player	#5 by Zane Haight at Jan 12, 1987 at 2:15 AM EST
	Hmm.. I haven't seen the US version of the song (I didn't even know The Rasmus were famous in the US :P), nor the UK version, but in the Nordic version there are basically only shots from the movie "Pahat Pojat" (="bad boys", this song was on the sountrack for that movie), and stuff, I remember correctly...

No Picture Jamie Wanna Be	#6 by Jamie Smith at Aug 9, 1993 at 9:26 AM EST
