Surprise Ice Guitar Tabs by Kings Of Convenience

“Surprise Ice”
Kings of Convenience
Riot on an Empty Street

You should be able to use a pick instead of finger picking. The only hard concept in 
song is the chord progression, but that will come with time. This is my first full tab but 
very accurate. At the bottom I have the lyrics after the part they occur in.

That’s all. It’s a hard song to play but really effective. If you’re going to play a 
for it, the bass is essential for all those key notes before the riffs/pickings. Just 
for it and you’ll know what I mean.
