These transcribtion contains several (acoustic guitar) parts from the "Tales..."

-Album as I hear them; for this transcribtion I used the Steve Howe recording of

it (guitar and vocals) which you can find at the "Yes, Friends and Relatives"-

Album (a really bad album). Following along with the record (Original or Howe-

Version) is a very good idea...

Perhabs I will complete this version with the rest of the interresting guitar

parts of the original album in a few years...
