"Carol of the Bells"
 as performed by the Tran-Siberian Orchestra off their album The
 Christmas Attic, I think.  I just listened to the song over and
 over till i figured out at least the lead part.  I looked around
 for the tab but couldn't find it, and it's such a kick ass arrangement
 that people deserve to know how to play a little of it. I include the
 time in the song where the riff starts to edge off the confusion. And
 if i screwed up some part of it, lemme know.

A--7--5--3--2----------------------
E----------------------------------

And the haunting lead (make it a half step bend)

E--12~--10~--8^-7-----------
B---------------------------


That's all I got. I couldn't make out the screaming lead or the end.
Listen to the song to see when what gets played over what.
Good luck and rock on!

This part tabbed by: Riaz Jahangir (riazjahangir@hotmail.com)
h = hammer on
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
p = pull off

Aaron's done a great job on a great rendition.  This tab is also just
for the lead guitar part -- here's my take on the end of the song.
I play it a bit different from Aaron, so let me back up to the descent
and ascent:

The Descent
B--17--17-17-15-13-----------------------------------------------
G------------------16--16-16-14-12-14--14-14-16-14---------------
D--------------------------------------------------14--14-14-14--

The Ascent
B------------------10-12-10-------------
G----------9-11-12-----------12---------
D--9-11-13------------------------------

Haunting Lead
B--17---15---12^--12-- where ^ is a half-step bend

After the haunting lead, the descent and ascent reappear, beginning at
2:20.  After the repeat of the ascent, it's

(2:29)
B---------------------------------------15--17----
G--12--11h12-9---------16\14p12-----12------------
D-------------------------------14----------------

Then it's the descent and ascent again, and after two repetitions
the ascent builds up with repetition, and ends with a longer ascent:

(2:46)
e---------------------------9-10-11-12---
B------------------10-12-13--------------
G----------9-11-12-----------------------
D--9-11-13-------------------------------

Then they go nuts with e--12-- and a tremolo arm for a bit,
then this piece which, if I'm right, is just an easy slide.
But if I'm wrong, it's insanely hard. :)

(2:55)
G--16\4-4/16---  [play 4x]

That's followed by a chord finish at the end of the last repetition:

(3:03)
e--15---17---19---22---24--
B-------15---17---20---24--
G--16----------------------

And the song fades out with the background guitar riff Aaron mentioned.
