 Okay, the majority of Vai requests have been for this song.  Although I
 must disagree with those who think that this and "Touching Tongues" are the
 best songs on the album; what about "Sex & Religion" or "Survive"?  Those
 songs kick ass!
 I didn't tab "Touching Tongues" because the rhythm track requires a 7-
 string guitar, and the lead requires delay and a WHAMMY pedal.  I don't
 think the average guitarist has those things handy. :)
 Anyway, all you need for this song is an acoustic guitar, an eletric
 guitar, and a hell of a lot of patience!  Some of the chords are a pain in
 the ass (or should I say fingers?).
 Some notes on the way I do ascii tab:  "p" - pull-off
                                        "h" - hammer-on
                   "v"s in front of a chord - upstroke
                                       "nh" - natural harmonic

 It gets really orchestrated and complex after this.
 If all you really wanted was the intro, there it is.  If you want more,
 ask me nicely.
