There is a excellent tab of this song on *
written by, well, I don?t know. I would like to give
credit but I couldn?t find a name on the tab.
Anyway, it?s a great tab, it?s got everything but the
solos, so put this one together with that one and
you have a perfect tab of this song.

NOTE: in the tab of Grand Illusion on *,
there is one mistake. Guitar 1 on the bridge has
it?s notes written 1 fret to high just on the first
stanza. Just pay attention and study it and you?ll
get what I mean.
