Standard Tuning.  THE GODFATHER THEME IN D MINOR

This is my PERSONAL INTERPRETATION of The Godfather theme.
It might not fit exactly with the song if you are listening to it and
playing it at the same time.  This is my own interpretation and is
meant for two guitars.  Guitar One is on top, and Guitar Two is on the bottom.
This song is in 4/4 timing.  All guitar one parts are in eighth notes.  All
guitar two parts fit the melody of the song.

* = let ring
p = pull off

Introduction:  Enter Guitar One for 3 measures.  
Guitar Two takes the pickup to measure 4.

This is played pianissimo and is omitted in my MP3 recording of the song.
I'm including it here because my original music for this selection used
this introduction.

e|-----5-------5--0--5--|-------5------5-----5--|
b|-----6-------6-----6--|-------5------5-----6--|
g|-----7--7----7-----7--|-------5------5-----5--|
d|---7-------7----------|----7-------7----------|
a|-5--------------------|---------7------7------|
e|----------------------|--5--------------------|

Repeat this two times.  

Enter Guitar One with the following arpeggios.  Repeat four times.  Guitar Two will enter on the pickup to measure 3.  At this time, the guitar one part will change.  Remember that these are
eighth notes.

Guitar One: (play three times.  Guitar two will enter on the third time.)
e|------1---------0--------1--0-1------1--|
b|------3--3------1--------3---------3----|
g|----2--------2----2----2---------2------|
d|--0--------2---------0------------------|
a|----------------------------------------|
e|----------------------------------------|


Guitar Two:  Melody.  Play very legato.
E|------1p0---1---0-----------|------1p0---1---0------------|
B|----3-----3---3---3---1-----|----3-----3---3---3----------|
G|--2-----------------3---2*--|--2------------------2-1-0*--|
D|----------------------------|-----------------------------|
A|----------------------------|-----------------------------|
E|----------------------------|-----------------------------|

For most of the song, this pattern is used.  The rest of the song will be added
within a day or so.  I want to tweak all the little imperfections before posting
something that doesn't sound exactly right.  Since this is an interpretation, there
can't be any corrections.  Please rate this tab, and send any comments or questions
to me by email.  I also have an mp3 file available to anyone who wants to hear it.
One last note, don't even think of stealing this.  This is a 100% original 
interpretation.  If I see one tab that copies this one, I'll report it to MXtabs and 
remove my tab, and have yours removed as well.  Enjoy, and good luck!
