Carpe Diem

From: Teddy Cerra & Carlos Perez DREAM THEATER Carpe Diem "Seize the Day" From:A Change of Seasons This is my first tablature, so if there are any questions or comments please e-mail me at [email protected] (Carlos Perez) (Standard Tuned Acoustic) The prelude follows a 4/4 rhythm, and is right after "Crimson Sunrise" The rest of the song is in a 3/3. It will make your life 82.5 times easier if you listen to the song a couple of times while reading the tab. Enjoy.

Tablature Notation: ------------------- ( ) :Sustain P :Pull off / :Slide Other helpful hints: -------------------- There are a couple of changes in the tempo that I wasn't able to add. Listen to the CD, and you'll know what I mean. Also, definitely don't forget to drastically slow down during the last line.
