Okay, the majority of Vai requests have been for this song.  Although I
must disagree with those who think that this and "Touching Tongues" are the
best songs on the album; what about "Sex & Religion" or "Survive"?  Those
songs kick ass!
I didn't tab "Touching Tongues" because the rhythm track requires a 7-
string guitar, and the lead requires delay and a WHAMMY pedal.  I don't
think the average guitarist has those things handy. :)
Anyway, all you need for this song is an acoustic guitar, an eletric
guitar, and a hell of a lot of patience!  Some of the chords are a pain in
the ass (or should I say fingers?).
Some notes on the way I do ascii tab:  "p" - pull-off
                                       "h" - hammer-on
                  "v"s in front of a chord - upstroke
                                      "nh" - natural harmonic

Rescue Me or Bury Me
by Steve Vai
Tab by Dave Whitehill for Hal Leonard Corp.

It gets really orchestrated and complex after this.
If all you really wanted was the intro, there it is.  If you want more,
ask me nicely.
