Subject: TAB: "Blood On the Rooftops" - Genesis
Blood on the Rooftops - Genesis (Guitar intro by Steve Hackett)
Tabbed by Paul Meekin (PMEEKIN@ESOC.BITNET) and Jeff Lo (JEFFREYLO@delphi.com).
The intro up until the vocals was done by Paul Meekin. I have made a
few minor changes to Paul's intro. The rest is my fault. :)
During the verses, I have added a bass staff and some pedal notes below
that. I don't play bass or bass pedals so I probably _really_ screwed
things up there. I just liked the way the bass part sounded.
During the choruses, I just added my best approximation of some guitar
chords to substitue for the synth.
Right after the choruses, there are a couple of measures with two or
three guitars, bass and keyboards weaving a pattern that I haven't
figured out yet.
Please send me any comments, corrections, etc. so that I may continue
to improve upon this.
Hope you enjoy it!

Notes:
+ -This is meant to be a pause, musically a fermata. Use it to your own effect
H -Hammer on/hammer off
A -A sort of arpeggio but strummed downwards once with the thumb.
* -The lower string is plucked very slightly earlier than the top one. Almost
like a grace note.
() -An implied note. Sometimes it is a string that is struck lightly by
mistake, in other instances, it is the rest of the chord.
