Song

The Gathering "eleanor"

from Mandylion

tabbed by: Drew Schinzel, 7/16/99 <analogkid82@yahoo.com>

notes: I condensed some of the chord spacing to save some space, so be

aware of the riff timing. Standard tuning. I hate writing structures, and

this isn't exactly a real difficult song to follow, so you can figure it out.

Riff A (0:16) Riff B (0:32)

last 3 notes of A and B are only sometimes played

short bridge. These chords are muted both with the palm and fret hand.

twice twice, Second time skip end arpeggio

The last riff is a combination of riffs C and D, just listen to it.

For the ending, hit an extra E5 after the last riff, then a couple of B5s.

After that, the end is just a bunch of F#5s one after the other with the

ending from riff A thrown in once in a while.
