Barber's Adagio 4 strings (from Platoon)

Samuel Barber - Barber's Adagio for strings

great piece. I've tabbed the 1st violin. I like it in D but you can do it also in C as well as others I suppose. 

This is not the whole song. I've only tabbed the first 3 minutes and 16 seconds as it later traverses a few octaves or watever. This first part is the most famous bit.

... means hold note for a very long time
. means hold note briefly longer than other notes
check MIDI for timing and such.
