THE TRIAL (lead)
Chrono Trigger

Song by Yasunori Mitsuda
Lead transcribed for Bass by Randall Stephens (randalllscottt at gmail dot com)
from Frank Marchunt's original Guitar transcription

NOTE: The first section is in the original octave 
(to keep it simple on a 4 string - no E|--8-7-8-10-3-8--|) 
and very little is changed there from Frank's original.
All other sections are down one octave with a couple of shape changes,
so for guitar just run it back up an octave and find a comfortable fingering.

Standard tuning (E A D G)
