xSong: Titanic 'Main Piece' Artist: James Horner Tabbed and transcribed by: Andrew Martin ([email protected]) This is the 'main rift' to the movie Titanic (1997). It appears several times in the movie, including as a pipes solo in 'Hymn to the Sea', which is where I tabbed this from. Take it slow and listen to the timing off the soundtrack.

The timing isn't easy, I've tried to represent it as best I can, but use your own judgement. This piece appears elsewhere in the movie, usually altered a little. Add in slides, pulls and short notes as you see fit. Another Version of the same piece: When the rift is sung by the etheral voice, it's a little lower. It sounds more like: [Main riff] e|---------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------7--7h9---9---7-6-6-7---12----9---7---5-----2---0--------| G|--9------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------| e|-----------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------7--7h9---9---7-6-6-7---12----9---12---14b----12---9---8s7-| G|--9--------------------------------------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------------------------| e|-----7---9---12--9---7-----7---7h9--7--------------------------| B|--9---------------------9--------------9s7-------7h9--7--------| G|---------------------------------------------9-----------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------| e|----------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------------------------| G|--9---8---6---5--5---5s7------5---5s7----10----------------11---| D|----------------------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------| ************************************ | h Hammer-on | b Bend | s Slide ************************************
