Free the Three - Zao
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Scott
Email: lbopm@yahoo.com
Tuning: Drop C (can be played in Drop D but it just sounds ALOT higher then the song)
| / slide up
| slide down
| h hammer-on
| p pull-off
| * pinch harmonic
| . palm mute
This is pretty much 99% right the Pinch Harmonics might be off but the rest is right.
This is in the order of the song however some parts will have to be repeated before moving
on.
Figure it out.

Lyrics
You failed to do your job. Superstitious cover up. They'll pay you because of
your mistakes.
You lie, you lie, you lie and they pay. You fail, you fail, you fail and they
pay. Superstition.
Unholy children. Blinded vision. false ambition. Can you show me how they're
guilty? YOu liars, you killers,
You fools of superstition. Blame the (so-called) unholy children with your blind
vision and your false ambition.
FREE THE THREE.

| This is a very emotional song. There is a lot of meaning in it. It shows us what failure as human beings some people are. In listening to it, you can almost feel the anger and sadness. I highly enjoy this songs. songs like these are a rare find. | |

| wow, thanks for the link rebellion. i was definitely surprised and disgusted by the obvious corruption of the police officers. though i resent the implication that satan is a character that Christian's make up to explain the unexplainable, i believe it is out job, as Christians, to prove them wrong. We have to make sure we get evidence, not just go based on judgements and the biases we reach based on clothing, etc. In Romans 2:1 we're told clearly not to judge, because someday we may be in the same position. Christians are known to be judgemental, and for all of us, i apologize. Lets make sure the salem witchtrials stay in the past, eh? | |

| this meaning of this song is straightforward, and it's a good cause... it shows that not all Christians (or so-called thereof) are as stupid to condemn people to prison because they are reputed as Satanists, not even to accuse them of such a heinous crime with absolutely no evidence... i'm trying to work on making a transcript of the report read during the song... the first voice is pretty easy to decipher, the second voice a bit harder... the third voice is virtually impossible to hear... anyway... | |

Its hard to believe how people could let something like this happen, but I'm glad that ZAO is in support of the WM3 | |

| i'm sorry. i don't mean to come across as... i don't know, something not good, but still. you are the very people who consider yourselves the opposite of conformist sheep, are you not? so why then does it always seem to be the case that when danny speaks, you drool? have any of you done any kind of research on the case? on a site other than wm3.org? that is a totally bias site. however, i realize that is pretty much all you are going to get. (a bias site. the entire case is based on people's opinions, people's beliefs, and people's not so swell memories) i'm not condeming damien jessie and jason, because while it's true they did not get a fair trial, we don't know for sure if they're guilty. for all intensive purposes, they are. they were found guilty by a jury of 12. there was no evidence against the three, i'll admit, however there was no evidence for them, either. before you all make such rash and emotional statements, perhaps you might look into the actual case, from both sides, first? the police really aren't as bad as you people think. | |
