I've got a couple of Dream Theater tabs.... What ones do you have?

Here's the Ytse Jam:


From: William T Bajzek 

Here's everything but harmonies and solos before the drum solo. I'll try
to pseodo-time it, but you have to listen to the recording to get it
right. John plays the first half of the melody on the third string but I
prefer the second. I didn't tab the harmonies.

p = pinch harmonic
bar = trem bar
tp = tremolo pick
m = palm mute
/ = hammer
\ = slide

And I will raise a shelter to the sky.

    Am                G(2)              C(2)
And here beneath this star tonight I'll lie.

Solo:  Requires a single slap-back delay of ~200-300 ms.  My timing isn't
       good enough to get it sounding right, or indeed work out exactly 
       what is being played.  What's below is a rough idea of what I think 
       is going on.  To confuse matters even further it sounds as though 
       there are regular pull-offs onto the open G.  Knowing what John 
       Petrucci is capable of, he probably didn't even use a delay !

And now I've only habits left to break.
