Go back strumming E minorEm barre fast here then comes A minorAm barre fast and a C majorC
barre chord is slided up to 3 - 4 times, then follows

E------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
B------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
G-9b11-9b11r9r7-7h9--7---------------|-----------------------------------|
D--------------9---7--9r7h9-8-7-9-7--|-----------------------------------|
A-----------------------------------10-7---------------------------------|
e------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|

Here's another part with chords B7B7 - C majorC - Fmaj7Fmaj7 - D MajorD - G+G - B7B7 - E minorEm strummed
fast.

After the solo repeat verse 1 and follow up with the strumming part above.

"Let freedom ring"

"Oh Rock of ages do not crumble love is breathing still"
"Oh Lady Moonshine down, a little people magic if you will"

This tab was created with the help of an Amiga computer and the sampling
software Audiomaster IV, under the menu effects/duration/pitch the
frequency and the pitch can be doubled, thus enabling the program to play
back the sample at half the speed but with the original pitch.
