        Well, I've finally completed the Legend of Zelda tab everyone has
been asking me for.  That was a killer, now I'm going to do one a little
easier.  This one is going to be the overworld theme from Dragon Warrior
1.  I'll do the revised one from Dragon Warrior 3 some other time.  That
has more classical appegrios.  The 3rd one isn't as cool though. :-)

Here it is.  I'll try to make it possible for only 2 guitars, I'l add some
extra things in too.  Maybe even an arangement for 1 guitar.

I'll wait and see... I'll add a bass part if anyone wants it... just lemme'
know and I'll do it.  

        I decided to add a cool harmony part.  It's for a third guitar.
I wont tab it with the other 2 guitars.  I'll just slap it in at the end.

That's te tune itself.  This is a cool part to play with it. (it's
pretty much the harmony part up an octave)

3rd harmony (cool part)
   Dm            G             Am          D

D--12-----15-----12-----15-----14----------12-----16--------------|

        That is pretty much it, you can just match the chords, etc...
Any confusion, I can probably help! :-)
