Tarm Ruins Arrangement

By Travis Brown (tcbrown@bulldog.unca.edu)

This is the tab for the Tarm Ruins theme from Zelda: Seasons.  Since 
it is a Gameboy tune, the instrumentation is left to individual interpretation, so I have opted for the higher part to be played by guitar and the lower part to be played by bass.  However, the low part 
could be done by a guitar also.   

As you will notice from the tab, the guitar and bass are detuned a half step, with the low D# dropped to C#.  I transcribed it this way because it's my tuning of choice.  You can just put the capo on the 7th fret for standard tuning.  By the way, you can play the guitar part without a capo, but it's much easier/better sounding with one.

I believe this to be a fairly accurate representation of Tarm Ruins.  Please email me for comments/corrections/suggestions.
