**********************************
* The Tea Party ~ In This Time   *
*            from Splendor Solis *
**********************************

Well, the tea party selection on olga is rather lacking, so having sorted 
out most of this song (minus some fill and the other instrument) I suppose it 
would be criminal not to tab and post it.  This is my first attempt at 
creating a tab, so if things start getting confusing or just plain wrong,
you know why.  Neglecting any (probable) mistakes I may make in the 
process, I think this should be quite close to the album, but if I 
prove to be wrong please post your corrections and/or send them to me.

The song (I believe) is in the key of D major.

Tuning: A9 (Spelled A C# E Gb B; IV9 in DM)

     [e] up to [Gb]    
     [B] up to [C#]
     [G] up to [A]
     [D] up to [E]
     [A] up to [B]
     [E] up to [A]


Note:
   It is generally good to let the notes 
     ring as much as possible during 
     all parts of the song.
