Some of the more knowledgeable Morricone fans might notice this isn't the exact version of the song. The middle part I tabbed can be found on songs called "Childhood memories" and "Friends" that are both from the same soundtrack. They're mostly just different versions of Once Upon a Time in America, and can easily be found via Youtube. Just thought it sounded cooler this way than with the original, where the middle section is shorter. Anyways, enjoy, those of you who do.
