Comments:            The guitar parts of IBIFC on Works II and Return of
                     the Manticore are the same. Some chords seems rather
                     strange but in most cases I am certain Greg plays it
                     that way. Hard work to write it down ... took me some
                     hours, the rest is up to you.
                     h=half, q=quarter, e=8th, s=16th, s^=16th triplets
                     THIS SONG ALSO AVAILABLE IN TABESTRY FORMAT (.TBS)
