Rakim Tablatura

	  TAB:Rakim by Dead Can Dance 
 
From CD-Movie: Toward The Within(1994) 
Trans/noted: Andretti Benavides 
ISSUE# 4 from GTML. 
A very difficul song to transcribe and play it correctly.  This is 90 % O.k. 
and i think i will make it. 
First: Tunning :You may say WHAT??? four strings?. Yes Four strings, this is 
for mandolin (i think it is played with that) but if you have a guitar just 
put a  and play on the thinner strings. Notated as fret 
5(capo)=0.For non capo just add 5 to every note. 
Second: Trills: Move quikcly, very quickly up and down the pick under notes 
that says Trill. 
Third: The chords are arranged for main deep music layer, an here comes the 
scales: For DM part is a A minor.-a,b,c,d,e,f,g,a. For D part is a 
G major.-g,a,b,c,d,e,f#,g. Noy you can figure out arrangements and voicing. 
Thats all,for corrections, comments, contributions or anything else:

Lyrics: 
 
1. Rakim 
 
                                  Favored son 
                                  Turn in the garden 
                                  Shades of one 
                                  Sins forgotten 
 
                                  Favored signs to find hope 
                                  In the rounds of life 
                                  Favored rhymes to find hope 
                                  In the sands of life 
 
                                  Favored son 
                                  Fence in your heart 
                                  Saviored son 
                                  Sins forgotten
