Song

Ophthalamia "Track 1"

A Long Journey (aka Journey into Darkness)

tabbed by: Drew Schinzel <analogkid82@yahoo.com> 9/6/99

Legend:

-------

b bend

r release

h hammer on

p pull off

~ vibrato

\ slide down

<> pinch harmonic

Notes: This is a really kick-ass song/intro from Ophthalamia's "A Long Journey."

This is the version off the re-recording the band did, so I'm not sure how much

it differs from the original on "Journey into Darkness." Any comments, corretions,

etc to <analogkid82@yahoo.com>.
