Notes:

1)This tab also covers the version of the song on Abstrakt Algebra II album. That
version, while more lo-fi than the one on Dactylis Glomerata, has the superior lead
and a superior vocal performance. Either way, the lead is within a couple of notes
of differance of the E Minor scale that you can piece it from that.

2) The interlude arpeggio pattern was used a decade later for the Krux song "Siberia", as were
many of the outakes from the whole Abastarkt Algebra/Dactylis Glomerata pool of riffs.

3) I love you unconditionally.
4) I love this era of Candlemass/Algebra, and I am submiting a partial tab of "3rd Child from the Sun". If
you like to join me in possibly tabbing that whole album, I would really apriciate it, and also check note #4.
