Well since nobody else volunteered to post Tull's Thick as a Brick
Edit 1 (or whatever it's called), I decided to figure it out myself.
Only got through the first part in the time I had last night - I'll
probably learn the rest sometime this week and if people let me know
they're interested, I'll post that too.

Couple of notes - there's a capo at the 3rd fret, which is why the
strings at the left of the tab are noted the way they are.
So, what I designated as an open string is actually fretted at
the 3rd fret by the capo.  Secondly, one should use liberal
interpretation of the tab - I wasn't too careful in some of the
chordal sections about specifying exactly which notes of the chord
are hit and which aren't.  As always, use tab as a guide, listen to
it yourself, and make it sound right!
