 Mystic Queen / Peter Bardens 
 ----------------------------
 
 Performed by Camel on their first album, "Camel", from 1973
 
 I've been a Camel fan for a long time. Lots of Camel's music from "The Good
 Years" (ie 1973-1977, but please don't flame me about it) are untranscribable 
 due to my playing limitations and patience, but this piece is both beautiful 
 and easy to play. The tabbing and notes here should help you playing it, 
 hopefully with some friends playing with you, or, on the other hand, it could 
 be helpful if you've got a synth guitar with a sequencer or just a 4/8 track 
 tape... 
 
 I've made a great mess when I tried putting all those tabs and chords, so
 I have divided the song into sections. The complete chord sequence, with notes
 about the relevant sections, is written at the end. The chord sequence should 
 help you play it throughout, and the messy part should help you play specific 
 "solos". As usual, I'm transcribing organ solos into guitar tabs. I know it's 
 ridiculous but maybe somebody can do something with it :-). I didn't bother 
 tabbing all those Bass lines because Ferguson wasn't as consistent as he 
 usually is on this song.... :-) But it is easy to find the bass line as long 
 as you know the chords, in this song anyway.
 
 I wish there would be more progressive rock stuff over the guitar tablature 
 groups! I'll be doing my best (Slow Yourself Down is coming up next!)

 Camel - Mystic Queen
 By Peter Bardens
 
 1. Intro:
 	  Dm
 	  1 a 2 a 3 a 4 a  1 a 2 a 3 a 4 a  1 a 2 a 3 a 4 a  1 a 2 a 3 a 4 a  
 	E:------------0---|1---010---------|------------0---|1---010---------|
 Guitar: B:--------3-------|--------3-------|--------3-------|--------3-------|
 	G:----2-----------|------------2---|----2-----------|------------2---|
 	D:0---------------|----------------|0---------------|----------------|
 	A:----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
 	E:----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
 
 Guitar repeats this section twice more, now adding Bass:
 	  1 a 2 a 3 a 4 a  1 a 2 a 3 a 4 a  1 a 2 a 3 a 4 a  1 a 2 a 3 a 4 a  
 	G:----14--14--14--|12--------------|----------------|----------------|
 Bass:   D:12--------------|----15--12------|----7---7---7---|5---------------|
 	A:----------------|----------------|5---------------|----8---5-------|
 	E:----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
 		
 	G:----14--14--14--|12--------------|----------------|----------------|
 Bass:   D:12--------------|----15--12------|----------------|----------------|
 	A:----------------|----------------|5---------------|----------------|
 	E:----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
 
 2. Song verse:
 		
 		Dm                | Bb
 		Have you seen the   Mystic Queen
 		C                 | Dm   C    Bb
 		Riding in her -     li - mou -sine
 		Bb                | Bb
 		Over hills and      over dales 'til 
 		Am                | Am
 		morning...
 
 		Dm                | Bb
 		If you like I'll    take you there
 		C                 | Dm   C    Bb
 	  we'll Find some colours   you  can  wear
 		Bb                | Bb
 		Colour that you've  only seen while 
 		Am                | Am
 		sleeping.
 
 Play as much open strings as you can. I think the play:
 Dm: x-x-0-2-3-1
 C:  x-3-2-0-1-0
 Bb: x-1-3-3-3-1
 Am: x-0-2-2-1-0
 
 3. First chords sequence
 	  Gm                                C
 	  1 a 2 a 3 a 4 a  1 a 2 a 3 a 4 a  1 a 2 a 3 a 4 a  1 a 2 a 3 a 4 a

 	  Gm                                C

 	A:----------------|----------------|----5---3-------|----5---3-------|
 	E:----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
 Repeat this line again.
 Then comes the guitar line along with the organ line:
 	  1 a 2 a 3 a 4 a  1 a 2 a 3 a 4 a  1 a 2 a 3 a 4 a  1 a 2 a 3 a 4 a

 4. Second chords sequence
 Generally the chord sequence goes this way:
 
 	Dm | Dm | C | C | Am | Am | Bb | D#
 
 Guitar plays the chords using barre:
 	Dm: x-5-7-7-6-5
 	C:  x-3-5-5-5-3
 	Am: 5-7-7-5-5-5
 	Bb: 6-8-8-7-6-6
 	D#: x-6-8-8-8-6
 Organ plays the chords (some times with arpeggio) twice. On the first cycle,
 the first two Dm are played as a "bang" Dm, then a pause, till everybody joins
 in on the C. The second cycle just flows. On the third cycle yet another 
 simple guitar solo comes in:
 
 	  Dm                C
 	  1 2 3 4  1 2 3 4  1 2 3 4  1 2 3 4  
 	E:--------|----5-6-|5-------|----5-6-|
 Guitar: B:6-------|6-8-----|----5---|--------|
 	G:--------|--------|--------|--------|
 		  
 	  Am                Bb       D#
 	E:5-------|--------|--------|--------|    
 	B:----5---|--------/6-5---6-/8-6---68|  
 	G:--------|--------|----7---|----8---|  
 
 Repeat this line for three sequences, in the third time modify slightly by 
 little tremoloes.
 
 	  Dm                C            CBBb - from now on drop from C to Am
 	  1 2 3 4  1 2 3 4  1 2 3 4  1 2 3 4    with major chords.
 	E:--------|--------|--------|--------|
 Guitar: B:6---6---|6---6---|565-----|--------|
 	G:--------|--------|----5---|--------|
 	
 	  Am                Bb       D#
 	E:--------|--------|--------|--------|    
 	B:8-------|6---5---/6-------/8-------|  
 	G:--------|--------|--------|--------|  
 
 	  Dm                C        CBBb 
 			    111
 	E:/13-----/13-/13--/232-----|--------|
 	B:--------|--------|---13---|--------|
 	G:--------|--------|--------|--------|
 		  
 	  Am                Bb       D#
 	E:/12-----/12------|13------|15------|    
 	B:--------|--------|--------|--------|  
 	G:--------|--------|--------|--------|  
 		  
 	  Dm                C        CBBb 
 			    111
 	E:/13-----/13-/13--/232-----|--------|
 	B:--------|--------|---13---|--------|
 	G:--------|--------|--------|--------|
 		  
 	  Am                Bb       D#
 	E:/12-----/12------|13------|15------|    
 	B:--------|--------|--------|--------|  
 	G:--------|--------|--------|--------|  
 
 5. Solos end:
 	  1  2 3 4  1 2 3 4  1  2 3 4  1 2 3 4  1  2 3 4  1 2 3 4
 Guitar  E:-10-8-6-5|-3-1----|-10-8-6-5|-3-1----|-10-8-6-5|-3-1----|
 & Organ B:10-8-6-5-|3-1--53-|10-8-6-5-|3-1--53-|10-8-6-5-|3-1---5-|
 Unison  G:---------|----3---|---------|----3---|---------|----3---|
 
 The sequence slows down at the end, so that the last note (D - 3rd fret on
 fifth string), and the whole thing sums up into the opening sequence:
 
 6. Second Intro - the same as the first
 
 7. Second song verse - the same as the first, ends into the epilogue...
 
 8. Epilogue:
 Organ:      Dm | Dm
 
 Guitar (using volume pedal?) plays:
 
 	  Dm        Bb        C         A7           A7: x-0-2-1-2-0
 Guitar: E:----|5---|5---|5---|----|--5-|----|----|
 	B:3---|----|----|--6-|5---|6---|5---|----|
 	G:----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|
 		  
 	  Dm        Bb        C         A7
 Guitar: E:----|5---|5---|5---|----|--5-|----|----|
 	B:3---|----|----|--6-|5---|6---|5---|----|
 	G:----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|
 
 	  Dm                
 Guitar: E:----|----|----|----|
 	B:3---|----|----|----|
 	G:----|2---|----|----|
 	D:----|----|3---|0---|
