Mystic Queen / Peter Bardens----------------------------Performed by Camel on their first album, "Camel", from 1973I've been a Camel fan for a long time. Lots of Camel's music from "The GoodYears" (ie 1973-1977, but please don't flame me about it) are untranscribabledue to my playing limitations and patience, but this piece is both beautifuland easy to play. The tabbing and notes here should help you playing it,hopefully with some friends playing with you, or, on the other hand, it couldbe helpful if you've got a synth guitar with a sequencer or just a 4/8 tracktape...I've made a great mess when I tried putting all those tabs and chords, soI have divided the song into sections. The complete chord sequence, with notesabout the relevant sections, is written at the end. The chord sequence shouldhelp you play it throughout, and the messy part should help you play specific"solos". As usual, I'm transcribing organ solos into guitar tabs. I know it'sridiculous but maybe somebody can do something with it :-). I didn't bothertabbing all those Bass lines because Ferguson wasn't as consistent as heusually is on this song.... :-) But it is easy to find the bass line as longas you know the chords, in this song anyway.I wish there would be more progressive rock stuff over the guitar tablaturegroups! I'll be doing my best (Slow Yourself Down is coming up next!)Before printing, consider that the file is arranged in 64 lines per pageHave fun.

On the first cycle,the first two Dm are played as a "bang" Dm, then a pause, till everybody joinsin on the C. The second cycle just flows. On the third cycle yet anothersimple guitar solo comes in:Guitar:Dm C1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4E:--------|----5-6-|5-------|----5-6-------| B:6-------|6-8-----|----5---|--------------| G:--------|--------|--------|--------------|Am Bb D#E:5-------|--------|--------|--------| B:----5---|--------/6-5---6-/8-6---68| G:--------|--------|----7---|----8---|Repeat this line for three sequences, in the third time modify slightly bylittle tremoloes.Guitar:Dm C CBBb - from now on drop from C to Am1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 with major chords.E:--------|--------|--------|--------------| B:6---6---|6---6---|565-----|--------------| G:--------|--------|----5---|--------------|Am Bb D#E:--------|--------|--------|--------| B:8-------|6---5---/6-------/8-------| G:--------|--------|--------|--------|Dm C CBBb111E:/13-----/13-/13--/232-----|--------| B:--------|--------|---13---|--------| G:--------|--------|--------|--------|Am Bb D#E:/12-----/12------|13------|15------| B:--------|--------|--------|--------| G:--------|--------|--------|--------|Dm C CBBb111E:/13-----/13-/13--/232-----|--------| B:--------|--------|---13---|--------| G:--------|--------|--------|--------|Am Bb D#E:/12-----/12------|13------|15------| B:--------|--------|--------|--------| G:--------|--------|--------|--------|5.
