Chords

This is the Haunting by Symphony X, I am not sure how many of you guys are into this music, but I don't care, it kicks ass:) I did not transcribe the solos, I just do not have the patience right now, maybe sometime:) Also this is my first version, so there are probably some mistakes, hopefully not many... if the format comes out weird, I apologize, hotmail does not have a very intelligent text editor.. well anyway here it is...
