Gorgeous song - a reminder of Skyclad's roots with the pagan concept
of life, death and rebirth. Anyone intrigued might find Muldoon & Carrington's
"The Projection of the Astral Body" very, very interesting).
Notation:

SOLO
Now quickly change to a Fine sounding classical guitar.
Riff1 followed by Riff2 (repeated twice) forms the basis for the rhythm
for the solo section.
the note spacing is just to give a reasonable guide - listen to the CD to
get it right - also the bars are not of equal length to the Riff bars but it does make sense :)

Riff1 (play 4 times)
song ends on an A minor (5th fret)
Hopefully I'll get round to adding some of the bassline in the near future -
if anyone else can submit it though then - cheers!
