I used 3 versions of Schizoid Man to transcribe this:

  1) Studio : _In the Court of the Crimson King_

  2) Live : Providence disc from the amazing new _Great Deceiver_ boxed set 

		(also the same version originally released on _USA_)

  3) Live : My *Alltime Favourite* version from _Earthbound_



NOTES: 	1) Standard bar chords unless otherwise noted

	2) This transcription isn't rigidly Beginning -> End.  I'll write it by 

		section then assume knowledge of repeating parts... 





First the chords:

The main chordal riff in 4/4:

1   2       3     4|1  2  3  4

C   A# C D# A#  C  |F   F#   G



Alternate used before vox:  

1   2       3     4  1  2    3 4

C   A# C D# F   G   |13---14---15-|

		    |16*--17*--18*| *Bend each 1 whole step

		    |-------------|

Vocal Section Chord from hell:

  Interpretations of this chord are legendary, this one sounded best to me:

		x

		8

		8

		10

		Cat's foot etc...



Exit main chordal riff:

F F# G : Repeat 6 times, increase tempo then...

*The rhythm is correct so if you play the triplet at the indicated time 

  (and allow 1 note length) you should be dead on.

   The notes themselves are pretty close but open to interpretation...
