From: Eric Liang
Subject: Boston Peace of Mind
I finally got around to transcribing all this stuff.
So here's "Peace of Mind". Notation: A ^ indicates hammer-on
or pull-off (I think using h and p is stupid). A b indicates
a bent note. i.e. 5b6 means bend the fifth fret up to the pitch
that the 6th fret makes, i.e., a half step. A / means slide, though
I'm not sure if there are any in this song.
Well, anyway here it is:

-4-x-7--7-x-x-x-x-7--7-9--7-9--
-----5--5-x-x-x-x------7--7-7--

--7-7--7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7--7-7-|
Chords in chorus are the same as the intro acoustic riff.
The bridge goes:
---------------------------|---|
---------------------------|---|
-----------------2---6---9-|---|
--9-9-9-9-9------2---6---9-|-2-|
--9-9-9-9-9------0-0-4-0-7-|-2-|

--------2-4/6-------6--------------------7-6----------------
----2-4---------------------------------------7^5-----------

---4-5-6-7--------6-----------------------16-------------------|
---------------------------------------18----------------------|
---------------------------------------------------------------|
Then two guitars come in and do this (arranged for 1 guitar)
-----------------------------------------------------------------|
------------7-9--10-7--9-7^9^7--------12b14--12--10^12^10--9--7--|
--8--9-9--9-8-9--11-8--9-8^9^8--8--9--13b14--13--11^13^11--9--8--|
--------------------------------9-11-----------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------------------------|
The above riff repeats twice. The first ending for the repeat is:
--------|
--------|
--------|
--9-9-9-|
--------|
--------|
The second ending is:
------------------|--------------19b21--|
--9--7^9^7--------|------16--17--21b22--|
--9--8^9^8--9-----|--18--16--18---------|
-----------11--11-|--19-----------------|
---------------12-|---------------------|
------------------|---------------------|
That's pretty much all the parts to the song.
Happy playing
