Okay, folks, this is a HUGE song, about 25 minutes long, with many, many instruments,
so i apologize if you're looking for something very specific it might not be in my tab.

Anyway, have fun playing it, I hope you'll enjoy my work!

There's that piano playing an E, which you would play this way on a guitar:

|---7---|
|---9---|
|---9---|
|---9---|
|---7---|
|-------|

(1:38)

Then there are some piano leaks...Well you'd better buy a piano for these.
Keep playing that.

(2:55)

Flute! Anyway it sounds great on the guitar
(Actually, he did play this part on a guitar, on Tubular Bells II, in Sentinel)

I would say it's two guitars (Strats?) playing at the same time,
not quite sure... Anyway, this is how you play it:

|----------------------------|---------------------------------------|
|----------------------------|--------------13-12--------------------|
|-----------------------9-12-|---------------------11h14p11----------|
|-10-12--14p12p10-12-13------|--13-12-11-10-----------------13-12-11-| And repeat!
|----------------------------|---------------------------------------|
|----------------------------|---------------------------------------|

(4:05)
Played with a guitar and a mandolin:
(To sound like a mandolin, pick really fast, it will do the trick)

|-------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|
|-12--10-12-10-12--14---12--14p12p10 12--14-|
|-------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|

Then: (Same as above, one tone lower)
|-------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|
|-10--8-10--8--10--12-10--12p10p8--8-10--12-|
|-------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|

And there's that electric guitar coming in at 4:15:
|------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------|
|-4-4-4-4-4-4///16-16-16-16b18-16b18-|
|------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------|

And the mandolin goes:
|-------------------------------------------|
|-14--12-14-12-14--16--14--16p14p12--14--16-|
|-------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|

(4:46)
Here comes the accoustic guitar:

|-----------------------------5-- 4-4h5-5-5-5-5/9---7/11-11--------5---4----|
|-------------4--5---5-5-5--7---7-----------------9----------7-7-7---7---5--|
|-4-4-4--4--6---------------------------------------------------------------| And repeat...
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

(5:18:)
I've found a nice way to play it with a guitar, so I'm posting it if you're interested:
(You can play it sliding, it sounds quite good too)
