Gotta Get Back To Hogwarts
Tuning: E A D G
Capo: No capo
BPM: 200
Harry has the opportunity to change the tempo and go whatever speed he wants for his opening part,
before it becomes upbeat. I suggest listening to the music a lot first because sometimes the lines do
not perfectly line up with the notes below them, but they are always close. Some words are cut out to
line up with the notes better, represented with an elipses.
{This first line is about 144 beats per minutes and is played 6X} HARRY:

Play the whole score back, or step through it note by note. Every track is synthesised from its own instrument, so a drum line sounds like drums and a piano part sounds like a piano.
