Tuning: E A D G B E
Song: Dream In My Life
Artist: King's X
Tabbed by: bmchrestoff
IMPORTANT PERFORMANCE NOTES: 1) Over the last 25+ years I have tabbed out most of King's X's music for
my personal use. Living in Houston, TX throughout the 80's and 90's
I had the opportunity to see King's X live many times. I will start
to publish it here in UG format for all to enjoy and critique.
2) This particular song has at least 7 guitars laying down at least
7 different tracks. One of the guitars (maybe 2) are in drop D
but the song itself as a whole is NOT IN DROPPED D TUNING.
3) This tab is NOT an attempt to tab all 7 guitars or every single
fill but instead enough of the key guitars that carry the main
themes of the song.
4) Chords in parentheses are there to present the implied tonality.
One of the guitars in an acoustic duo could actually strum these
chords during a performance.
5) Guitar 3 has a Drop D Tuning D A D G B E.
