For correct rhythm listen to the song.
I tried to tab this song as correct and clear as possible, so please appreciate the effort.
However, I’ll update it and make it even more complete when possible.

Note: some notes or power chords are barely heard, but I wrote them down anyway. It’s up

Missing parts: rhythm guitar behind the solo, Lead guitar in the first half of 2nd
and the rhythm part “Long ago it came to me…”
Sorry but some things are harder to hear than others, this is why I need other people to
If you know the missing part or would like to add something that I didn’t add or
something, email me. And don’t worry, I’ll give you credit too.
I did my best.
