Capo: 3

This is "A Past and Future Secret" by Blind Guardian I took this from a performance at VIVA Metalla but it's pretty much like the album version. I think that he tune's 1/2 step down but I'm not sure. Always rythm guitar on top and lead guitar on bottom. Note: Capoeded at 3rd fret I'll just put all riffs first and then explain the music.
