Erotomania Lyrics

Dream Theater - Erotomania - transcribed by Gary Chapman
I started work on this a few days ago. Since then I hear it's
been transcribed by Guitar World and some British magazine. I don't
have enough spare time to sweat out stuff that's already been published,
so here's what I got done - the first four minutes. It's one hell of
a tune !
Oh yeah, I also forgot about Petrucci's 7-string axe. Thus your mileage
may vary here.
Key:
/ = slide
^ = hammer/pull
(b) = bend
% = trill
v = whammy hit
Intro: Distorted organ arranged for guitar.
