It was kind of hard to tab a special part of the solo, but otherwise the tab should be correct.
Enjoy it!

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Jeremy Average	#1 by Jeremy Rees at May 5, 1978 at 8:58 AM EST
	the richie as the wizard dio as the slave concept is facinating. I had never thought of it that way. Its almost like a prophecy..since dio had success with sabbath and dio. When dio says "so many die" i think he must be refering to his elf bandmates. When you think about the wizard as richie and dio as one of the "slave who made it possible."

No Picture Andrea Average	#2 by Andrea Lauria at Aug 6, 1980 at 8:07 PM EST
	The fifth track on Rising, and the first eight-minute epic. It's about being taken in by your beliefs and then losing out- the song's theme and story continues with the final song, the second 8-minute epic on the album, "A Light In The Black". Amazing song not only lyrically, but also instrumentally; a band at an amazing peak.

No Picture Lead Player	#3 by Michael Leathers at Feb 8, 1983 at 5:34 AM EST
	It's not just that. The full story: A wizard is trying to reach a "star" -- representing some form of power, divinity, etc, it's vague. So he enslaves these people to build him a tower to reach it. But the people aren't just slaves, look at the words. ("We believed, we believed", etc., it's the overall tone of the speaker) They're the wizard's followers to some extent. They're not just there cos they're forced to be, they really believe in his cause, at least a little. And after he fails to reach his "star" (could be cos it's a myth, because he hasn't gone far enough, I dunno) a whole sense of hopelessness takes over the tone of the song. The people have lost their direction, their faith, they don't know what to do or believe... "so where do we go?" -- with their faith shattered, they can't even come to terms with their "freedom". The whole idea is continued in " A light in the Black". These 2 have the best songwriting on the album, some of the best stuff Rainbow's ever done. Full of symbolism.

	Having said that, I still can't beleive I like a band named Rainbow.

No Picture Gary Wanna Be	#5 by Gary Rossington at May 22, 2003 at 12:09 PM EST
	The re-assurance of the "I'm coming home" really stands out
