Music & Lyrics in all songs by Jon Schaffer Century Media Records 1998/ Century Media Records 1999 Album: Something Wicked This Way Comes/Alive in Athens ...(by the way, for transcribing the songs I’ve been using the same from Alive in Athens... all the songs are the same, but it’s easier to transcribe live versions... so, here must be some differencies, between the live songs and the originals, but remember: these are the live versions!! Enjoy!) All guitars tuned 1/2 step down (of course) Gtr 1 ... Jon Schaffer Gtr 2 ...
