Innocence de Fates Warning

Here is an improved version of this superb song by Fates Warning.
It sets the whole theme for the brilliant Ivory Gate of Dreams.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and claim (near) note-for-note perfection
on this one. (There's a challenge for all you critics)

Thanks to Tim Messick for his original tab and for his great taste.
