Xanadu Lyrics

Subject : Xanadu tabs
Transcription by Charles Grogan (s3sijdp@sae.towson.edu)
intro riff
main theme
--2-|---4-2-0-------4---4-2-0->-4-2-0-|----------------------------------
long scale after main theme
chord work:
First time- guitar, percussion and synth come in
2nd-bass comes in
3rd-full drums kit, synth fades out
Fourth time:
Progression during lyrics ('To seek...')
In between '..Paradise' and 'I had heard..'
Then the chord sequence during 'I have heard...' etc. Here I've pinned
down all chords, for it's not all repetition.
The second one runs from 'I scaled the frozen...'
and going over in the picking passage.
Two versions here, the first one is how Alex plays it, the second
one just a different fingering. See what suits you best.
Solo:
0->-(2)--0->-(2)-----------------------------------------------------
