Within Temptation - Ice Queen (Album: Mother Earth)
----------------------------------------------------------
Too many wrong tabs out there.. (so here is another one) ;)
Actually had to make some adjustments to this one.
Now it's perfect ;)
Tabbed by: TooZe
Intro:

E|-4--4--4--4--0-0--0-0--0--4--4--4--4--4-4--4-4--4--
(2-2--2-2--2)
You really need a dropped tuning to play the full chord, but this
works fine with normal tuning.

| For me, that's a very nice metaphor of the Winter. The Ice Queen is dangerous and sly, like the Winter. One's got to run away from it if he doesn't want to die. Fortunately, when the sun awakes (at Spring), it chases it away until it comes back 'when leaves have fallen'. Thus, the Ice Queen will exists forever even if it can disapear temporarily... What a great song, surely one of the best (and they are numerous) WT's songs!!! | |

| This song reminds me of the White Witch from the Chronicles of Narnia. It feels like it was written just for her! And i found an awesome video for her featuring this song: http://youtube.com/watch?v=VQMgt-O3drE | |

| OOH my favorite Within Temptation song. :) I think the song is some kind of fairytale about what causes winter. | |
