----------------------------------------------------------------------------- SENTINEL - Mike Oldfield ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Anne Drury Email: zerofret_ad@hotmail.com Date: November 8, 2005 Written by: Mike Oldfield CD: "Tubular Bells II" (1992, WEA Records) Notes: -this is the full 8:00 album version of "Sentinel", not the single version -all parts are transcribed for guitar -- where instruments are noted, it's an indication of what instrument plays the part on the CD -there are several recurring and/or overlapping themes in this piece - for clarity, I've divided the tab into sections (14). Sections are indicated by number (1,2) and Figures (a recurring staff of music) by letter (A, B). -due to the tab's length, recurring Figures are followed by an indication of where they first appeared, to make them easier to find eg. if the tab says "Play Fig.B (S3) & Fig.E (S8) together", it means Figure B first appeared in Section 3 (and Fig.E in Section 8), and that's the only section where you'll find it tabbed out -when a key is indicated at the top of a section, the song continues in that key until otherwise noted -at the start of each section, there's an indication by minute and second of where in the song that section begins _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ SECTION 1 - (0:00) Key: D Major Piano Intro (Play 1st 4 measures 2x) E |-14--12----12-14----|------15--14--|-12-----------12---|-------12--14-| B |o-------15----------|---12---------|-----15-14-15------|-------------o| G |--------------------|--------------|-------------------|----14--------| D |--------------------|--------------|-------------------|--------------| A |o-------------------|--------------|-------------------|-------------o| E |--------------------|--------------|-------------------|--------------| | | | | |D G Asus4 D | E |--------2-----------|--------------|-------------5-----|--------------| B |o-------3-----------|-----0--------|----------5--------|-----7-------o| G |-----2--------------|--------------|-----7-------------|-7---7-6---7--| D |--0-----------------|---0----------|-7-----------------|---7---7------| A |o-------------------|--------------|-------------------|-------------o| E |--------------------|-3------------|-------------------|--------------| E |-----------------10-|-12--10-12-14-12---| B |-12~----12p10-12----|-------------------| G |--------------------|-------------------| D |--------------------|-------------------| A |--------------------|-------------------| E |--------------------|-------------------| | | | | |G Asus4 | E |--------------------|-----------5-------| B |--------------------|--------5----------| G |-----4--------------|----7--------------| D |---0----------------|-7-----------------| A |--------------------|-------------------| E |-3------------------|-------------------| _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ SECTION 2 - (0:34) Key: A minor MAIN THEME - play 3x |-8---7------7-----|---7--------------|-8---7------7-----|---7----------7--| |---------10---8-10|-------8-10---10--|---------10---8-10|-------8-10------| |---9---9----------|-9---9------9----9|---9---9----------|-9---9------9---9| |------------------|------------------|------------------|-----------------| |------------------|------------------|------------------|-----------------| |------------------|------------------|------------------|-----------------| (piano) |-8---7------7-----|---7--------------|-8---7------7---10|---8---7-8---7---| |---------10---8-10|-------8-10---10--|---------10---8---|-----------------| |---9---9----------|-9---9------9----9|---9---9----------|-9---9-----9---9-| |------------------|------------------|------------------|-----------------| |------------------|------------------|------------------|-----------------| |------------------|------------------|------------------|-----------------| _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ SECTION 3 - (1:11) Continue playing Main Theme(S2) through this section - play this section 2x Figure A - Am (w/ trem.)
