Normal Tuning

I transposed the piano and violin for guitar (or bass), this

results in a lot of slides on the violin parts (listen to the song

to get 'em right).

There are also a LOT of repeats, which I didn't count, so I'll

just give the variations, which are played in the song.

Piano (starts after the low synth-FX)

var.1

e   -----------------------|-------------------|
B   -----------------------|-------------------|
G   --------------10---9---|--7----12--10--9---|
D   --7----9--10-----------|-------------------|
A   -----------------------|-------------------|
E   -----------------------|-------------------|

var.2

e   -----------------------|-----------------------|
B   -----------------------|-----------------------|
G   --------------10---9---|--7----12--10--9---7---|
D   --7----9--10-----------|-----------------------|
A   -----------------------|-----------------------|
E   -----------------------|-----------------------|

Violin (Use a lot of sustain to make the

slides sound best)

Note: Play along with the song to get the rythm right;

the violin-rythm is not the same as the piano-rythm

on certain parts, which can be confusing.
