This is my first tab. Hoora!
This is the 'main rift' to the movie Titanic (1997). It appears
several times in the movie, including as a pipes solo in 'Hymn to the
Sea', which is where I tabbed this from.
Take it slow and listen to the timing off the soundtrack.

That's about it. The timing isn't easy, I've tried to represent it as
best I can, but use your own judgement. This piece appears elsewhere in
the movie, usually altered a little. Add in slides, pulls and short
notes as you see fit.
Another Version of the same piece:
When the rift is sung by the etheral voice, it's a little lower.
It sounds more like:
