       Ten Seconds To Heaven
       By: Carlosh Date: August 2, 2013, 11:52 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Hi, I tried to follow the prompts for new users, but was
       redirected to some Amazon irover site, so I came here, which is
       where I really wanted to go.
       Anyway, let me just say that I've seen The Ventures twice and
       the last time I saw them, they were kind enough to give me their
       guitar picks after finishing a song.  I will cherish those
       forever!
       Now that I'm retired, I've started playing a Fender Strat and
       love to play Ventures songs.  One that eludes me is Ten Seconds
       To Heaven.  I've figured out some of it, but some of the rifts,
       I just can't figure out.  If anybody can help, even an
       incomplete tab might help.  There's nothing on YouTube.   :(

       I found this. Hope it helps.
       Dm7          G9                    CM7
       CM7/6
       Take my hand,    I'm a stranger in paradise,
       Dm7          G9           Fm               CM7             CM7/6
       All lost in a wonderland,    a stranger in paradise.
       Dm7        G9                       CM7     CM7/6
       If I stand starry-eyed,     that's a danger in paradise
       Am6         Dm7         Fm    G9         C
       For mortals who stand beside   an angel like you.
       Bridge:
       G#7            C#
       I saw your face, and I ascended
       Bm6       C7          Fm
       Out of the commonplace   into the rare.
       E7             A
       Somewhere in space I hang suspended
       Dm7            G9        CM7
       Until I know there's a chance you care.
       Edim        Dm7          G9                  CM7
       CM7/6
       Won't you answer the fervent prayer   of a stranger in paradise?
       Dm7         G9                 CM7
       CM7/6
       Don't send me in dark despair    from all that I hunger for,
       D7       G9                      Em7
       Edim
       But open your angel arms    to this stranger in paradise
       Dm7         Fm    G9          C
       And tell him that he need be    a stranger no more.
       Although the words and music are credited to Robert Wright and
       George Forrest, the song is based on a theme by Alexander
       Borodin in "Prince Igor."

       Thank you very much for your reply.  While this will help with
       the rhythm guitar part, what I'm looking for is the lead guitar
       as played by the Ventures.
       Thanks,
       Carlos

       I've studied that video over a hundred times and I'm stumped at
       the rift he plays 41 seconds   into the video.  Can anybody help
       with about the next 15 seconds that follow?
       Carlos ???

       go from there.
