   "RETURN TO HANGAR"
    BY MEGADETH
    FROM THE ALBUM "THE WORLD NEEDS A HERO"
    TABBED BY DIMITRIS TSAGARAKIS

This tab right here is my transcription of the song, and I believe that it is
close to the original. However there are probably some mistakes or variations.
This is how I play it, and it sounds pretty much correct to me. It is also my
very first tab. I hope that I did not fare too bad and that you can use it.
Feel free to make any corrections or additions, or use this tab any way you
like. As far as timing is concerned, just listen to the song, it should not be
difficult to get it right.
