Shamelessly take from Guitar World Magazine February 1991.

Well, I finally finished it! This is an incredible song with one of the best solo`s ever written by Ritchie Blackmore. I have tried to include as much of the original information as I could while keeping to the ASCI text format. I tried to match up the lyrics with the notes thus keeping the timing correct. As always, listen to the recording to get the timing. I would like to have the following tabs: "Echoes" by Pink Floyd (the first half of the song), "Astronomy Domine" by Pink Floyd (preferably the version on Ummagumma), and the rythem`s to Blue Oyster Cult songs.
