A Past and Future Secret  Blind Guardian

This is "A Past and Future Secret" by Blind Guardian
I took this from a performance at VIVA Metalla but it's pretty
much like the album version.
I think that he tune's 1/2 step down but I'm not sure.
Always rythm guitar on top and lead guitar on bottom.
Trancribed by JoĈo Pedro MagalhĈes
Note: Capoeded at 3rd fret
I'll just put all riffs first and then explain the music.

This part I'll just put the chords. The lead part althought I knew
part of it I prefer to improvise in the Gm scale. Just listen to
the record to get the rythm.
