 Here are the 8 main rythm riffs of the song. Now coming the lyrics
 and the riff wich you must play:

 Powder & Iron

             \
 Riff 1 (x1) |
 Riff 2 (x2) | ---> This is played like Intro, without lyrics,
 Riff 3 (x4) |      but with some lead guitar fills over.
             /

 Riff 4 (x2)
         Thunder shakes the wooden hull, the rigging breaks like glass
         the cannons fire consistently, their enemy to blast
         Pirate vessel's changing course, the Navy's giving chase
         The tactic of entangeling is the gauntlet in their face
 Riff 2 (x2)

 Riff 4 (x2)
         Powderkegs and ironballs, thunder cracks the rail
         Splintered masts and tattered ropes, the fire eats the sail
         The lion-heart's the only way to overcome the fight
         Back to back no fear at all, the pirates are standing tight
 Riff 5 (x2)
         Lightning strikes, smokescreen bites, a wall of fire is on the horizon
         Fading breath, too much death, too much blood and too much pain
 Riff 6 (x2)
         Powder & iron, gun down the flags
         In rapid succession the thunder will crack
         Powder & iron, the fire will blow
         The devil is waiting to take their souls away
 Riff 2 (x2)

 Riff 4 (x2)
         The privateers are in the plight, cornered by the fleet
         The mariners are trying hard, their gallow-poles to feed
         The pirate vessel's sailing fast, firing a round
         The naval-ship is on the lose, sinking to the ground
 Riff 5 (x2)
         Lightning strikes, smokescreen bites, a wall of fire is on the horizon
         Fading breath, too much death, too much blood and too much pain
 Riff 6 (x2)
         Powder & iron, gun down the flags
         In rapid succession the thunder will crack
         Powder & iron, the fire will blow
         The devil is waiting to take their souls away
 Riff 2 (x2)

 Riff 7 (x2)

 Riff 4 (x4)   played as outro, let ring the last note.
