(At this point, you must play the 1st rythm line 2 times, the first time with fifth chords and the second time with third chords.) (Here's another verse, pre-chorus and chorus. They're played like the others) Deprived of thier consiousness, we can't predict what's more Can't you remember how things use to be before. I secretly dream of thing we will be thought Will someone esteem, for those who have fought Someday, someway, I may see a wonderland Don't you, won't you, say that will be free again (Again play the first rythm line 2 times (1st time with 5th, 2nd time with 3rd)) (Now it's time for the bridge (if we can call it like this)) Play 4 bars of 16th Low E note then play this riff : |-12----12--10----10|-8-----8---7-------| |----12--------10---|----8---------8--7-| 5th chords & 2nd -> 3rd chords) Can't you see it....aaaaaaahhh Can't you feel it (Now do 3 times the last 2 bars of the bridge...The 1st & 2nd time, do it without the keyboard part and the 3rd time, play both guitar and keyboard) Can't you feel it....wooohooowoooo! (The 1st gtr play an E5 chord at the end of the song while the 2nd gtr play this part :) let ring________ |----7-------------| |-7-----7----------| |----------9-----9-| |------------------| |-------------7----| |------------------| (And if you're still here, here's the solo of this song --> One of the greatest of all time!)

The last 3 (or 4) bars of the solo are too difficult to transcribe... but keep in mind that the solo is in E aeolien (E F# G A B C D). I know that this solo ends with the lowest G (3rd fret of the 6th string). That's it folks! Hope you enjoy this transcription. Steve "TABAC" Begin. (Pierre@liq.com) www.TAB6.com
