I Set My Face to the Hillside Tortoise
Song: I Set My Face To The Hillside
Tabbed by witmachine@yahoo.com
This is an epic, six-minute long song that is in two main parts. The first
part spans about three and a half minutes, the second half of the song is
a mid-tempo groovy bit with much keyboards and minimal guitar, more of an
extended outro.
The first half of the song is mainly in 4/4, the intro and the main phrase
is two bars 4/4, one bar 5/4 and one bar 4/4. The second half of the
song sticks to 5/4 time signature.
This is mostly one guitar, but a second guitar comes in at about 1:40.
My rendition isn't exactly as played live, but sounds well with the record.
