This is A Past and Future Secret by Blind Guardian
I took this from a performance at VIVA Metalla but it`s pretty much like the album version. I think that he tune`s 1/2 step down but I`m not sure. Always rythm guitar on top and lead guitar on bottom. Trancribed by JoЖo Pedro MagalhЖes
Note: Capoeded at 3rd fret
I`ll just put all riffs first and then explain the music.

This part I`ll just put the chords. The lead part althought I knew part of it I prefer to improvise in the Gm scale. Just listen to the record to get the rythm.

MAIN5 I`m not sure about this one, if you think it`s bad e-mail me and I`ll check it out again.

The music goes like this: INTRO(2X) MAIN1(2X, first time with FILL1) INTRO(2X) MAIN2(3X) MAIN3(2X, the first time don`t play Cm cause you`ve played it in MAIN2) FILL2 MAIN3(2X) MAIN4
The VIVA Metalla version would now end so I`m not sure about the rest.
MAIN1(with FILL1) MAIN5 MAIN3(2X, the first time don`t play Cm cause you`ve played it in MAIN2) FILL2 MAIN3(4X) MAIN4
