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.
