MY NEW WORLD Written by Roine Stolt with Neal Morse, Mike Portnoy and Pete Trewavas STRUCTURE, HARMONY

and LYRIC CHART Time signatures in vocal sections also imply the duration of the chords without the use of bar-lines. Double-time changes are indicated with the ` symbol. Instrumental sections include additional numbers above the bar specifying the beat on which the harmony changes - redundancies are omitted. Hyphenated symbols (E-lick etc) represent melodic phrases described in separate documents. For live performance the Guitars and Keyboards are transposed to B thus the pitch sounds one semitone lower than written.
