Blood On The Rooftops by Genesis

Tabs 

Blood on the Rooftops - Genesis (Guitar intro by Steve Hackett)

Tabbed by Paul Meekin ([email protected]) and Jeff Lo ([email protected]).

The intro up until the vocals was done by Paul Meekin. I have made a
few minor changes to Paul's intro. The rest is my fault. :)

During the verses, I have added a bass staff and some pedal notes below
that. I don't play bass or bass pedals so I probably _really_ screwed
things up there. I just liked the way the bass part sounded.

During the choruses, I just added my best approximation of some guitar
chords to substitue for the synth.

Right after the choruses, there are a couple of measures with two or
three guitars, bass and keyboards weaving a pattern that I haven't
figured out yet.

Please send me any comments, corrections, etc. so that I may continue
to improve upon this.

Hope you enjoy it!

Notes:

+ -This is meant to be a pause, musically a fermata. Use it to your own effect

H -Hammer on/hammer off

Chord diagramA augmentedA -A sort of arpeggio but strummed downwards once with the thumb.

* -The lower string is plucked very slightly earlier than the top one. Almost
   like a grace note.

() -An implied note. Sometimes it is a string that is struck lightly by
  mistake, in other instances, it is the rest of the chord.
