Scorpions - Evening wind

Ok, so... standard tuning.. C#m just like you hear on spotify... i put the lyrics and time marks for better reference. it'll be easier if you know this awesome song well, but i tried to make it easy to understand. if playing lead guitar then add some overdrive and a nice, spacey delay. ¡ i m p r o v i s e !
