Indeed, I had just forgotten to put them. So here they are at the end of my first file. Band : EMERSON, LAKE AND PALMER Song : STILL YOU TURN ME ON ... Album : Brain salad surgery, Live at the Royal Albert Hall As I have promised it to you, here is the tabbed "Still you turn me on", a song written by Greg Lake for ELP. I have transcripted here the version of the album "Live at the Royal Albert Hall" for it was easier to transcribe since Greg sang it only with the guitar, whereas the guitar is not easily audible in "Brain Salad Surgery", due to Emerson's surrounding organs. The guitar is tuned as following : D-A-D-G-B-E
