Yes
"Tales from Topographic Oceans"
(guitar parts by Steve Howe; Words by Jon Anderson)
(acoustic guitar tab)

File name: "yes-tales_from_t_o.txt" ((Version 1))
These transcribtion contains several (acoustic guitar) parts from the "Tales..."
-Album as I hear them; for this transcribtion I used the Steve Howe recording of
it (guitar and vocals) which you can find at the "Yes, Friends and Relatives"-
Album (a really bad album). Following along with the record (Original or Howe-
Version) is a very good idea...
Perhabs I will complete this version with the rest of the interresting guitar
parts of the original album in a few years...
