Not 100% perfect I don't think, but I figure someone's at least gotta get it
out there in some form.  This song is just too awesome a song not to have
tabbed.  The bass part is quite simple.

No Picture Ian Average	#1 by Ian Slay at Aug 30, 1971 at 2:11 AM EST
	However, the "They took my brother They ripped him from me To twist his words as they did his body Denied his family Denied his beauty To lie him down at the feet Of those he couldn't save Couldn't save, couldn't save" could relay that Glen himself wasn't bitter about it, but that others were. It's possible that Glen thinks the people who did this to Jesus did it to him because they were angry, because if Jesus is Jesus he can control life and death, right? ...lie him down at the feet of the people he couldn't save would mean they lie him down as a dead man with the rest of the dead people that they're angry he "couldn't save"

No Picture Hudson Lead Player	#2 by Hudson Ryan at Aug 13, 1979 at 6:49 PM EST
	both of you are right...but i think its more of glen saying "hey, what did we do to this guy? imagine if jesus was your brother and you knew him and loved him as the one you used to go play with and share things with. then everybody started giving him all this responsibility and praise and it got out of hand and he was killed for it" glen just wants people to look at the personal side of it, jesus was a man. i think his saying "will it be the end, or is he still ascending, but if he's all you say - would he fly from heaven to this world again?" is kinda him almost condeming those people. saying "this man died for you (or you made him die for you) and what if he wasnt really what you say he was?

	This song is written from the viewpoint of Jesus' brother, James. Paul is then probably the apostle, although he seems to represent the whole church and everyone who started talking about Jesus after his death, changing "his name" and "the things that he said". But mostly, this song is about how devastated James is as Jesus' death

No Picture Sonny Moore Who Average	#4 by Sonny Moore Whore at Feb 28, 1992 at 2:06 PM EST
	This is about Paul the Apostle. Toad produced a second version of "Dulcinea" with a DVD ROM where they actually talked about this song and the meaning behind it. It is about Paul, and looking at him from the viewpoint of James. Nice grab for those of you who picked it up.

No Picture [matt] Average	#5 by [matt] Anderson at Jul 11, 2005 at 8:12 PM EST
	I dont think its neccisarily about the apostle Paul, i think Paul could be a random person, I think the message of the song is more about seeing someone so strong in their faith when they have no proof, the writer is questioning his own faith saying, hey if this guy is all he says he is, then would he come back to earth again?
