We could never write this tab without getting a .MID file
somewhere. So that should be considered an interpretation
by www.gaudela.net/pfm/ - that's the place where we took
the .MID file. Anyway the tablature is our own work so
whoever is the author of the .MID file should not be made
accountable if the tab doesn't seem to work.
However, we think that's a close enough interpretation
of the song, not the whole song indeed, yet relevant
parts of it. "TARANTELLA" means the section following the
first synth melody and the bichord series E-F-F#-G.
There are some variations the 2nd time it's played,
as we reported. "Lah-lah-lah-lah" comes after the
first "Celebration" chorus. The Ending is just after the
2nd "Celebration" chorus. The bassline is mostly the same as
gtr, it seems different from the 3rd to the 6th measure on
"TARANTELLA" 2nd time, and somewhere in the "E-f#-g#" part
after "LAH-LAH-LAH", when the gtr plays that descendant
scale. You can refer to the .MID file available somewhere
in www.gaudela.net/pfm/. As for "E' festa", which is
the Italian previous version of "Celebration", the guitar
parts written here don't seem very different, yet the
ending is QUITE different.
