Styx – Show Me The Way tab

I love this song, and I searched the entire web looking for a tab of this
solo. But all i found was chord progressions. Which help, but I eventually
had to figure this out by ear. So if you're anything like me, and really
wanted a tab of this. Here you go. Sorry if it's a little hard to read or
inaccurate. But this is my first tab. Any suggestions for future tabbing
will be highly appreciated. Thanks! :) Yes  I did borrow some things from
other tabs. I would give credit, but I have no clue who I would give credit
to. Here's the link to a tab I got most of this from.

My goal is not to be the one with the best tab but to help others learn the
song in one easy tab.

b = bend
r = release
~ = hold, vibrato
tr = trill
h = hammer on
p = pull off

Verse:
__________________________________________________________________________
F#   Abmin   Bbmin Ebmin          B

Ever night I say a prayer, in the hopes that


          C#

there's a heaven

    F#   Abmin   Bbmin   Ebmin        B

but everyday I'm more confused as the saints


          C#

turn into sinners


        Ebmin*** (This is a walkdown with Ebmin)

All the heroes and legends I knew as a child


     B                  C#

have fallen to idols of clay


      F#        Abmin Bmin     Ebmin     B

And I feel this empty space inside, so afraid


                  C#

that I've lost my faith

Chorus:
______________________________________________________________________
            F#      C# B

Show me the way


            F#      C# B

Show me the way


        F#             Bbmin     Ebmin

Take me tonight to the river and wash my

            Abmin    C#

illusions away

            F#

show me the way

Then back to the chorus, which is played twice. Then into the outro, which is just the first line of the first verse, so you would play this: F# Abmin Bbmin Ebmin B Ever night I say a prayer, in the hopes that C# there's a heaven Chords:
F# Abmin Bbmin Ebmin B C# Bbe|---2----| e|---4----| e|--------| e|--------| e|--------| e|--------| e|--------|b|---2----| b|---4----| b|---2----| b|---7----| b|---4----| b|---6----| b|---3----|g|---3----| g|---4----| g|---3----| g|---8----| g|---4----| g|---6----| g|---3----|d|---4----| d|---6----| d|---3----| d|---8----| d|---4----| d|---6----| d|---3----|a|---4----| a|---6----| a|---1----| a|---6----| a|---2----| a|---4----| a|---1----|e|---2----| e|---4----| e|--------| e|--------| e|--------| e|--------| e|--------|
Once more, thanks to the anonymous donor for the chords for the song. And please, if you think this tab has any flaws, point them out. Please give suggestions for my next tabs too.
