Title: The Bard's Song: In the Forest Album: Somewhere Far Beyond Transcribed by Joao Pedro Magalhaes (damagalhaes@mail.telepac.pt) I transcribed the music based on two other tabs, one by Alexander Schmidt and other by someone unknown. Both of them are in Pedro's Home Page. I was also helped by Carlos Garrido. I believe he tunes down 1/2 a step but I'm not sure about it. Just listen to the song for rythm.
