Here are the tabs for Open Your Heart. 

--

Sonic Adventure Main Theme- Open Your Heart

Tabbed by Omar (omaralex@avantel.net)
Warning: This song is pretty damn hard to play right, as there's lots 
of ad-libbing not transcribed here. Many of the riffs have harmonics 
added in places, especially the main riff.

Intro riff:

h- hammer on
p- pull off
/- slide
>- bend up
<- let down bend

Palm Mute, fast
E|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

D|------------------------------------------------7--7-------------------------|
A|---5--3------------3--5--3------------3------7--7-------------------------|
E|----------5--3--5-------------5--3--5--------5--5--------------------------|

Then crank up that distortion!

Main Riff (Varied slightly each time)
     A5 (used over whole riff)

This next riff reminds me of a Black Sabbath song, can't remember which
one though...

Bridge:
F5                                                                                    
G5
All the steps we take, all the moves we make, all the pain at stake
 F5                                                      G5
I see the chaos for everyone who are we what can we do
C5                                                      D5
You and I are same in the way that we have our own styles that we won't
change
C5                                                     D5 (bend D on
12th fret/G on 7th fret/ whatever)
Your's is filled with evil and mine's not there is no way I can lose

Chorus:
G5/A5                                 F5                   G5
Can't hold on much longer - But I will never let go

C5                D5                            A5
Open your heart it's gonna be alright

Then back to main, followed by verse, then... oh, work the order out for
yourself.

Lyrics:

Thunder, rain, and lightning
Danger, water rising
Clamour, sirens wailing
It's such a bad sign

Shadows of dark creatures
Steel clouds floating in the air
People run for shelter
What's gonna happen to us!?

All the steps we take, all the moves we make, all the pain at stake
I see the chaos for everyone who are we what can we do
You and I are same in the way that we have our own styles that we won't
change
Your's is filled with evil and mine's not there is no way I can lose

*Can't hold on much longer - But I will never let go
I know it's a one way track - Tell me now how long this'll last
I'm not gonna think this way - Nor will I count on others
Close my eyes and feel it burn - Now I see what I've gotta do

OPEN YOUR HEART, IT'S GONNA BE ALLRIGHT

Ancient city blazing
Shadows keep attacking
Little children crying
Confusion, hopeless anger

I don't know what it can be but you drive me crazy
All your cunning tricks make me sick, you won't have it your own way

* Repeat

OPEN YOUR HEART...AND YOU'LL SEE...

(Guitar Solo)

If it won't stop, there will be no future for us
Its heart is tied down by all the hate, gotta set him free

I know it's a one way track - Tell me now how long this'll last
Close my eyes and feel it burn - Now I see what I've gotta do

GOTTA OPEN YOUR HEART, DUDE!

* Repeat

OPEN YOUR HEART, IT'S GONNA BE ALLRIGHT
