SOLO I. This is played while the chord progression above continues.
        Same solo played to close out the song but has some echo effects.

INTRO:(Cont.) This will be played through four times and then tempo will
              pick up using the same chord progression.

INTRO(Cont.): Now the guitars begin to use "quick" strums of each chord
              and Bruce sings "Feeling scared as fell to my knees, something
              rushed me from the trees." Do this progression three times,
              listen to CD for timing and tempo.

INTRO:(Cont.) This is the ending of the intro progression and it starts with
             "Into the middle I was led", and continues with "As if time has
              stopped still I was numb with fear." Plays through five times,
              listen to CD!

Main Theme Melody: Now for the fun part. This next sequence is the fast
                   melody that is backed with a violin sound. Not sure if
                   mine is accurate, but I took a stab at it. Here you go!
                   It is the same throughout the song so I only tabbed it
                   once. Again, listen to the CD and make sure your fingers
                   are warmed up!

Solos: For the experts only! But, same chorus line above through all solos!


Interlude Part I.   After the first two solos comes the "chant Melodies." I
                    Knick-named them this because in concert the Europeans
                    will chant each note.

Interlude Part II. This is the same idea played after the third solo,
                   just played at a different key. Play this with the CD,
                   you'll know what I mean!
