If no one else has tabbed it, I'll give it a go - but I won't have time for it until the middle of next week. That means probably two weeks before I could get it done. If I can do it…

Sidsquishus, if you can do this, you will help many people!
If you need help, tell me. I'm trying to do the first part..
The bass player of the link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnWEPOsxPu0)does not want to give the tabs to help

Have you figured out what key the song starts in?

There's a guitar chord tab (http://www.megachords.com/guitar/music/211966/mediterranea.htm that suggests the song starts in B minor. Do the guitar chords match what you have got so far?

I finalized the first part (I think). When I go home I'll post the first part here for you to give your opinion.

Is reasonable, but you can get an idea … I did the first part like this:

Tabs:

G|--------------------------------------|
D|------20------------------------------|
A|--70-0--203--3330---------------------|
E|--------------------------------------|

2x

Good effort, Hugorj.

Here's what I got for the intro (before the singing starts):

Tabs:

G|--------|--------|--------|--------|
D|--------|--------|--------|--------|
A|---R----|---R----|---R----|--R---9\|
E|--------|--------|--------|--------|

G|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|
D|----764-|--------|4>-4764-|------4-|----764-|--------|4>-44-6-|------4-|
A|2>-2---2|5>-5557-|-------2|7>-77---|2>-2---2|5>-5557-|--------|7>-77---|
E|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|

This sounds the best on my bass, but there are other fingerings with less travel:

Tabs:

G|----21--|--------|----21--|--------|----21--|--------|------1-|--------|
D|------4-|0>-0002-|4>-4--4-|2>-22-4-|------4-|0>-0002-|4>-44---|2>-22-4-|
A|2>-2---2|--------|-------2|--------|2>-2---2|--------|--------|--------|
E|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|

After this the verse starts up, which I haven't looked at yet.
Cheers.
