Album: Grand Illusion Transcribed by: J. Chitty Email: * There is a excellent tab of this song on * written by, well, I don’t know. I would like to give credit but I couldn’t find a name on the tab. Anyway, it’s a great tab, it’s got everything but the solos, so put this one together with that one and you have a perfect tab of this song. NOTE: in the tab of Grand Illusion on *, there is one mistake. Guitar 1 on the bridge has it’s notes written 1 fret to high just on the first stanza. Just pay attention and study it and you’ll get what I mean.
