Blind Guardian - Past And Future Secret tab

Transcribed by damagalhaes@mail.telepac.pt Joao Pedro Magalhaes
         This is "A Past and Future Secret" by Blind Guardian



         I took this from a performance at VIVA Metalla but it's pretty

         much like the album version.

         I think that he tune's 1/2 step down but I'm not sure.

         Always rythm guitar on top and lead guitar on bottom.



         Note: Capoeded at 3rd fret



         I'll just put all riffs first and then explain the music.

         This part I'll just put the chords. The lead part althought I knew

         part of it I prefer to improvise in the Gm scale. Just listen to

         the record to get the rythm.



                                    MAIN3

                                Dm     D#    Gm                    F
