NOTES
*  I'm still kind of a beginner, so expect errors.
*  Feedback is highly appreciated.
*  I interpreted this tab from audio data taken directly
	off of the Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
	Playstation game CD and converted into WAV form.
*  If you've played Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, then
	you'll recognize this piece from the Clock Tower.
