**********************************
* The Tea Party ~ In This Time *
* from Splendor Solis *
**********************************

Well, the tea party selection on olga is rather lacking, so having sorted
out most of this song (minus some fill and the other instrument) I suppose it
would be criminal not to tab and post it. This is my first attempt at
creating a tab, so if things start getting confusing or just plain wrong,
you know why. Neglecting any (probable) mistakes I may make in the
process, I think this should be quite close to the album, but if I
prove to be wrong please post your corrections and/or send them to me.

The song (I believe) is in the key of D major.

Tuning: A9 (Spelled A C# E Gb B; IV9 in DM)

[e] up to [Gb]
[B] up to [C#]
[G] up to [A]
[D] up to [E]
[A] up to [B]
[E] up to [A]


Note:
It is generally good to let the notes
ring as much as possible during
all parts of the song.

h Hammer
p Pull off

H7
-x- Harmonic, 7th fret
