MIKE OLDFIELD - Tablatura - The Exorcist

someone asked for the Tubular Bells part which is used
in the film 'the Exorcist'.
Here it is - and another easy to play part of it.

Tubular Bells --- Mike Oldfield

INTRO

This part is originally played on piano and glockenspiel, but I saw
him playing it on guitar in his video "the essential", so I tabbed
it out. This part is only playable with an easy to learn right hand
technique - "it is just hammering between one string and another - I
did it on piano " (Mike). Use your thumb for the notes on d-string
second and third finger for those on g- and b- string respectively.
The beat goes 7/8 7/8 9/8 7/8 - so each note is 1/8 long.

: The piano intro to the original Tubular Bells was used as the theme to
: The Exorcist. The only other bit I noticed was the thrashy electric guitar
: section - just straight barre chords going up and down. What's that shape
: called - like an F major on the first fret?
:
It's a lot easier if you play it an octave lower, viz.:
(Also from memory, so please forgive any errors - however, it's just
a fingerpick on an A minor in the first position)
