The Bards S Song In The Forest tab by Blind Guardian

Guitar Tab 

Artist: Blind Guardian
Album: The forgotten tales
Song: The bard's song(In the forest)
Tab author: Mauro- Coimbra, Portugal

Hello, BG fans... Here I am again for another great mission. Discover the true nature
of the bard's song(In the forest). I've seen myriad tabs about this one, but some incomplete
and others wrong! This is really how they play it on the Somewhere far beyond album, for in
the live versions they do variations in the song.

Half a step down tunning.

Interlude
There are two measures on this riff next to the chorus. The first measure is
played with a rhythm acoustic and a lead acoustic(doing some pull-offs and hammers),
The second measure is played with the same rhythm acoustic but with two leads.
The first lead continues doing the same thing it did on the first measure and
the second does the rhythm stuff an octave higher, like I will show you.
