Red colored exclamation marks offer additional fretting information

The intro resembles the intro of John Lennon's "Dear Prudence", which might have been the driving force behind
Greg is hybrid-picking this song
For fingestyle, I suggest the following picking patterns: ac - x - ac - x
                                                          xc - a - xc - a

There are two versions of the song, an inflated orchestral version and a less pompous one without orchestra. Maybe I work out the rest of it one day, if I find a cute tab solution for the interlude, which in fact is based on Prokofiev's "Troika" from the suite "Lieutenant Kijé". This was one of Emerson's “glorious ideas“.
Or I use something totally different, as in "The Sage".
