 Subject: TAB: "The Impending Death...", Will Ackerman
 "The Impending Death of the Virgin Spirit",  by William Ackerman
 This is kind of a mix between the studio version and the Windham
 Hill in Concert video performance.  Both performances are cool
 and aren't much different, but you may notice some phrasing
 discrepancies.  This is basically how I play it.
 BTW, this is easier than "Bricklayer", but more of a pain to get
 in tune properly.  It's worth it though :-)
 Tuning (low to high) :  C#  A  C#  G#  A  E,   then capo on 2nd fret
 ( keep in mind, with the capo on II, a notated '5' actually 
   indicates the 7th fret, 11 is really a 13,....             )
