This is "A Past and Future Secret" by Blind Guardian

I took this from a performance at VIVA Metalla but it's pretty much like the album version. I think that he tune's 1/2 step down but I'm not sure. Always rythm guitar on top and lead guitar on bottom. Trancribed by JoЖo Pedro MagalhЖes

Note: Capoeded at 3rd fret

I'll just put all riffs first and then explain the music.

Intro

MAIN1

FILL1 MAIN2 H P A?-6-6-3---------------------------2 guitars almost equal-

This part I'll just put the chords. The lead part althought I knew part of it I prefer to improvise in the Gm scale. Just listen to the record to get the rythm.

MAIN3 listen crowd I'll tell you everything though I have to say I don't know much talking about a past and future secret most call him once and future king far back in the past I saw his ending long before It started I knew his name he's the one who took the sword out of the stone it's how that ancient tale began

FILL3 H P A?-6-6-3---------------------------2 guitars almost equal-

MAIN4 Just Lead part. The rythm guitar is just like INTRO P H P H P H

MAIN5 I'm not sure about this one, if you think it's bad e-mail me and I'll check it out again.
