Crystal Ball - by Styx (words and music by Tommy Shaw)
This is my first attempt at Tabbing so I hope it comes through OK.
Crystal Ball is one of my favorite songs and I have never seen it even
close to right anywhere. I only Tabbed the intro - I just wrote
chords for the rest. It should be easy if you get out the CD. I think
this is just about what Tommy Shaw is playing. It is played on a 12
string, and this sounds right on mine. It also sounds OK on my 6
string. Also, make sure you use a fixed-width font so the Tab will
line up (I just learned that).
If you need more help or if you have corrections, please E:Mail me at spartan3@pacbell.net
