Here's the hidden song from LIMBO.  It was tough to
match the album version to the lyrics so it's just a tab
version of the whole song.  Youtube had a video of Kristin
playing a solo electric version so I put that after the
album version in case you'd prefer to play it with strumming
and because it's played a completely different way.
The guitar on that video is tuned down 2 1/2 steps from
standard tuning to B-E-A-D-F#-B.
