Firewind - Mercenary Man (Acoustic Version, Chords) Tune guitar a whole step down. Note: Listen to the song to hear the strumming pattern. The chords above the words ARE NOT TIMED OUT and are just there are a guide. There is another tab that shows you how to play the intro lead harmony part, fairly accurately. Also, the guitar solo featured ONE of the guitar leads. Near the end when 3 guitars kick in, it gets a little confusing, so you'll need to figure out the other 2 parts.
