Trial Of Tears

         Title : Trial Of Tears
        Artist : Dream Theater
         Album : Falling Into Infinity
Transcribed by : Shane Woolcock (woolcock@camtech.net.au)

This is an incomplete tab for Trial Of Tears - I started the guitar solo, and then
decided not to bother, since the tab book has been released for FII. This may help
those people who haven't got the book yet.

Actually, I think it is in standard because JP plays it in standard in Live at Budokan. Other than that, good job.
