There hasn’t been a request for anything from the
Coverdale/Page album in quite a while, but I think
There are some really good songs on it. So I guess
I’ll start things off by posting what I know of
«Whisper a Prayer for the Dying.»
If anyone knows anything of the other songs on the
Album, please post them! If not, I’ll try to get
A few more of them tabbed later.
Whisper A Prayer For The Dying — Coverdale/Page

The entire song is pretty much structured around these four
Figures. I don’t remember exactly how everything goes together,
It seems to me that Fig. 1 is repeated about a million times
At the beginning, followed by Fig. 2.
My advice—listen to the song to find out where each of these
Fits in, because I don’t remember.
Questions, comments, additions, and corrections are always welcome.
