DUEL WITH THE DEVIL Written by Neal Morse, Roine Stolt, Pete Trewavas and Mike Portnoy STRUCTURE,

HARMONY and LYRIC CHART Guitars and Keyboards are transposed to B Pitch sounds one semitone lower than written Time signatures in vocal sections also imply the duration of the chords without the use of bar-lines. Double-time changes are indicated with 'X beats per chord' and the ` symbol. Instrumental sections include additional numbers above the bar specifying the beat on which the harmony changes - redundancies are omitted. Hyphenated symbols (Ab-lick etc) represent melodic phrases described in separate documents. 'LIVE' annotations reflect comparisons with the performance on "Live In Europe".
