*The organ and guitar solos are over this, and the bassist on the album does different
variations of this riff throughout both.

Some of the number of times listed may be off; I am doing this primarily from memory, but
you can figure it out for yourself, just listen to it a couple of times and you'll get it.
This is a very easy song to play. The order of the song is a bitch to get down, but once you
figure it out you can have a lot of fun with this 17-minute long classic.

If you have any problems you can e-mail me at KR4499@netscape.net

ThalassaRaven, the Garden of Eden is indeed in the Bible, it was where God placed Adam and Eve, until they disobeyed God and they were sent out of the Garden. Anyway, on VH1 this was #19 out of 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders. On the show they said something to the nature of the singer had a hard time pronouncing "In the Garden of Eden" and so when he said it some other guy in the band wrote it down how it sounded and the name worked: In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida so i think its in the Garden of Eden...dont know where you get the Venus thing, that makes no sence.
