"Rave On"
Tabbed by Arrell

The other "Rave On" tab is quite horribly incorrect, so I decided to try throw one up 
I've used several sources to piece it up (youtube videos, sheet music previews(!), 
so I've reason to believe this tab is reliable.

Where am I unsure (or have improvised a touch), I will point it out so that you can 
ignore or work around what I've suggested.

Note 1: I'm not certain about the octaves here, however I figure since they are
accented notes, you might as well add a little harmony to it.

Note 2: Again, octaves for a snazzier sound. Suits the piano as well.

melody durations appear below the staff
