Notes :



This is one of the best songs ever written, IMHO. Altough the guitar is

quite easy, it's also a joy to play. This version ( the only live version

of this song that I've heard) is better than the one included in 

"B-sides themselves", mainly because of the extended solo at the end.    



Some of the bars are longer than others; this is because I wanted to 

put the lyrics over the music as accurate as I could, and because singers 

don't follow the bars of music, this was kind of hard to do.



Guitar4 is only used in the " But the Samaritan.." part, so if you don't have

a delay unit, don't worry : just listen to the song, and try to play the

resulting notes without delay.



Solo1 and Solo2 are only "interpretations", that is, some of the notes were

difficult to hear because of the prasing Steve uses and because I ain't very

good at hearing solos; but the phrases ( specially in Solo1 ) are close to

being note-for-note.



Also, don't expect to play this song without hearing the recording first.

And sorry for the lyrics, but, as you may have noticed, English isn't my

natural languaje, so I'm prone to make grammatical mistakes ( hmm.... )



This is my first tab, so, if you find any mistake, please, e-mail me or send

the correction to the tab archives.



Without any further wate of time, here it is!!

C (5th fret, 3rd string), bending it to D (2 steps), taping at the 10th fret,

releasing the tap, and then releasing the bend.

Well, maybe it's just me, but I think it's pretty darn close to the

recording, but, as I said, maybe it's just me :-)



If someone actually uses this and wants more, I'm working ( among

other things ) on transcriptions to Forgotten Sons, Incubus and

Market Square Heroes ( all live from the R2R album ).

And I'm planning on transcribing Emerald Lies to complete the R2R

album, but, because I don't like that song very much, it's gonna take

some time to do it.



Any comments, flames, requests, or if someone knows how to play any

Steve Vai-era David Lee Roth songs or any Kansas song ( except

Dust in The Wind and Carry On.. ) , please feel free to e-mail me at :
