Queensryche - The Voice

one of the best songs from queensryche’s new album , “american soldier” .
the lyrics are inspired by the near – death experience of geoff tate’s father ,
perry tate , a us army veteran who was wounded in combat .

this song uses a lot of keyboards , but it can also be played quite nicely
with these chords .

thanks to powerslave88 and rich p . from www . anybodylistening . net for
their immense help – this tab is actually the result of their work .

two guitars in this song – one of them plays the riffs during the intro and
interlude , while during the verses and chorus , they both play rhythm parts .

intro :

a simple riff on the E string . . .

E | – – – 2b – ( pause ) – 2 – 3 – 5 – 6 – 5 – 3 – – – – | ( repeat from the beginning about 5 – 6 times )
B | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
G | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
D | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
A | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
E | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |

the second guitar plays D5 / A#5 under this .

verse :

D A
Am i still alive?
Bm
i think i’ve got it right . . .
A
i’m made of light . .
D A
before i leave and go away ,
C
there’s some things i must say ,
Bm
before – before i’m gone . . .

on “gone” , turn on distortion and play A5 / C5 twice .

this same progression repeats for the next verse .

pre – chorus :

A5 C5 A5 C5
there’s so many possibilities –
A5 C5 A5 G5
and i’m just starting to see . . .

now go directly to the chorus :

G5 A5 A#5 A5 G5
it’s like the poets always said
A5 A#5 A5 G5
when life is hanging from a thread
A5 A#5 C5 D5
you can hear that voice in your head . . . .

and now return to the D5 / A#5 sequence from the intro .

the interlude is just a three – note riff on the E string :

E | – – – – 2 – 3 – 2 – 3 – 2 – 2 – 0 – – – |
B | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
G | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
D | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
A | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
E | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |

for the rest of the song , use the pre – chorus and chorus chords .

the coda is D5 / A#5 . end on D .
