Dont Fear The Reaper Chords & Tabs
This first section is the intro. It works in a kind of echo effect. You play the first 4 notes, then let the last one ring and so on. It sounds best when you gradually get softer through out the 4 intervals.
Note: this does not contain the solo sorry guys
Here it is:
