Chord/Tab song: The Great Debate

Dream Theater - The Great Debate

Transcribed by Travis Lausch

This is the only song that hasn't been tabbed from Dream Theater's new
album, Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence, and I tabbed the other song
"Disappear". This is a break from my usual tab format, because I just
included the riffs, but not the solos, as I usually do, but this one
was too difficult to figure out. If you're really that desparate, you'd
just have to think "What would John Petrucci play?" and you'll get it...
