SOLO I. This is played while the chord progression above continues.
    Same solo played to close out the song but has some echo
effects.

INTRO:(Cont.) This will be played through two times and then tempo
will
       pick up using the same chord progression.

INTRO(Cont.): Now the guitars begin to use quick strums of each
chord
       and Bruce sings "Feeling scared as fell to my
knees,something
       rushed me from the trees." Do this progression three
times,
       listen to CD for timing and tempo.

INTRO:(Cont.) This is the ending of the intro progression and it
starts with
       "Into the middle I was led",and continues with "As if
time has
       stopped still I was numb with fear." Plays through
five times,
       listen to CD!

Main Theme Melody: Now for the fun part. This next sequence is the
fast
          melody that is backed with a violin sound. Not
sure if
          mine is accurate, but I took a stab at it. Here
you go!
          It is the same throughout the song so I only
tabbed it
          once. Again listen to the CD. Make sure your
fingers are
          warmed up!

Interlude Part I.  After the first two solo's comes the "chant
Melodies." I
          knick-named them this because in concert the
Europeans
          will chant each note.

Interlude Part II. This is the same idea played after the third
solo,
          just played at a different key. Play this with
the CD,
          you'll know what I mean!
