This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

----------------------=[EYES THAT WITNESSED MADNESS]=--------------------------
Riff 8 (Transition from [A MURDER OF RAVENS IN FUGUE] I placed it here, because
it is more a passage of this part than the previous.)
These are the most significant notes (keyboard plays an octave higher)

|-10==---------------|--9-9-9-9-9-9--9-9-9-9-9-9--8-8-8-8-8-8--8-8-8-8-8-8-|
After this, a keyboard fill is played, followed by riff 10 in slower rhythm.
There are bits of solo, which I decided not to include, because I think it
is not a significant addition to the song.
The song ends on the C5-chord:
|------| |------| |------|
|-12==-|
|-12==-|
|-10==-|
Followed by noise, and then it transitions to 'Portrait of the Dead Countess'.
