 White Nights part


 Note: I am totally unsure of this; the reason being, and you'll realize


 this if you have the CD, the guitars are extremely quiet in the mix during this


 part. The bass and trumpet totally overwhelm the guitars, but it should be


 something close to this:

 Then switch on the distortion and play the same thing during the horn part.


 The last time, play this instead of the last chord:

 Then hit this chord and let it fade out to the drums

 [E---] 
 End the song with the first chord above.
 Whew! What a great song, eh. If you feel like performing this song and
 you know someone who plays trumpet, they are playing the same notes as
 the bass. Enjoy this song and expect some more 8 Hours tabs. Eventually
 I'll tab out some I am the Day and Beside this Brief (and the splits)
 tabs. God bless.
