Transcribed by Alex Kruczkowski (amk1@ch.ic.ac.uk, alex@prilnari.com).
My first attempt at transcription; it's vaguely accurate. This is the way
I play along with the song on guitar. Chord names and timings could be wrong,
so make it up as you go along! If anyone can put in the lead guitar stuff,
or write a faithful transcription, that would be great. No rights reserved!
