                       THE SIGN OF THE CROSS

                        FROM: THE X FACTOR

               TABBED BY: STUART ROBB (DREAMER DECEIVER)


        Heres my effort at this epic tune - there are several pieces still missing, but
there is quite a bit here (the track is 11:17 long !!).
        The whole song is based around the 
E
 chord, at different positions.

        Any help and additions would be welcome - this was knocked up in just a few
hours (not including putting it onto the computer !!).

        See my email address at the bottom........
