SOLO I. This is played while the chord progression above continues.

INTRO(Cont.): Now the guitars begin to use ^Óquick^Ô 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.

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. Make sure your fingers are

warmed up!

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

"chant Melodies. "I Knick-named them this because in concert the
Europeans

will chant each note.
