So I guess I'll start things off by posting what I know of "Whisper a Prayer for the Dying." If anyone knows anything of the other songs on the album, please post them! If not, I'll try to get a few more of them tabbed later.

I don't remember exactly how everything goes together, It seems to me that Fig. 1 is repeated about a million times at the beginning, followed by Fig. 2. My advice--listen to the song to find out where each of these fits in, because I don't remember. Questions, comments, additions, and corrections are always welcome.
