Feels a little like Gene¥s Destroyer songs. Very easy stuff, just look out for the arpeggiated D#dim chord in the chorus. The solo is just simple melodic stuff played over the strings which, as a nice little touch, mirror the pre-solo riff from Psycho Circus.

Fig 1] [Rhy. Fig 1] I know just where you come from Where all tour yesterdays are gone [Rhy. Fig 2] And now you¥re done But you¥ve only just begun It¥s time you opened up the door [Rhy. Fig 3] And now it¥s all very clear This journey of a 1,000 years [Rhy. Fig 4] Can you feel it coming Can you hear the sound Can you feel it coming Or is it the roar of the crowd Can you feel it coming Can you hear it Or is it the roar of the crowd [Rhy.
