The Silent Hill theme song is a great piece, and a real pickle to transcribe. This song is broken into two sections- one lead, and one fill. I have structured this tab so it's alternating Lead and Fill tabs. The Lead has the same duration as its Fill counterparts, so the two tunes should superimpose, kinda. If my Lead/Fill pairs aren't correct, just listen to the midi file (www.geocities.com/xiao_ke_zhu/silenthill.mid) for reference.
