Coda I Have A Dream Tabs

(ver. 1)
King Crimson
Hi,
I have made a trancription of I Have A Dream acoustic version and
thought you would like to get it

My best wishes,
TOMEK TALERZAK

I Have a Dream (Intro [coda?] to "Larks' Tongues in Aspic Part IV")

TransKcription of the acoustic version which didn't appear on
"the construKction of light" album. Based on Belew's free mp3.

According to Adrian, the song was born while the rest of the boys were
rehearsing a slow tempo of "Larks' IV":
"... I started writing a string of chord changes to their pulse. They were
interesting changes. Eight chord shapes moving downward chromatically which
after 24 bars end up back where they began."

Spaces between notes don't necessarily represent the duration
of the notes!

METRUM: 4/4 !!!

   symbols of    our lives and times,
                                  "One giant leap    for mankind"

In the "power ballad" version with full instrumentation, used in "tcol",
there are some changes, of course, but the main idea and the core
are the same. So think it up yourself!
My best wishes to all of you - noble Eters!!!

                                             TOMEK
PS
 I made this transKcription with violin E string
 missing (it's broken - an accident). Thank you, Ade for not using it
 in your song! ;-)
