The Heart of It All Lyrics

This is simply a text version of the Guitar Pro tab uploaded by beewomp. I've had this
for months and covered this song on YouTube, and I've heard a few people asking for a
version. I don't THINK I've made any changes to the guitar pro tab.
I take no credit other than assembling it in a text format and re-arranging it
The tab was written by beewomp.
This is also the first time I've posted a tab. Please, let me know if I'm missing anything.
By the way...I'm mostly pasting the lead parts. Since this song is so long, posting 2-3
that run at the same time would be VERY confusing. With that said, I've cut a few
guitars out and left the leads in. If you would like the background guitars too, please,
me. Until there's demand for it I see no point in adding to the confusion.
The key for the symbols is at the bottom of the page.
