CHILDHOOD¥S END  from the CD Carnival of Souls                                  --------------------

Tuned down 1/2-step

Comments: This is an unusual transcription. Partly because the track was 
played on a 5-string (at least in parts), and partly because there are very 
few recurring riffs, mostly Gene plays variations on the main theme. This 
has led me to present the track in it¥s full length with every bar indicated. Towards the end, in the outro, Gene goes completely insane playing a pedal-
tone E in different octaves using sixteenths. These last parts might take 
some practice.
