INDIGO GIRLS - "wild wild party in the loquat tree" Tablature

Here's my interpretation of the Indigo Girls' version of Rand
Bishop's "Wild, Wild Party In The Loquat Tree." For your
reference, this song can be found on Put_On_Your_Green_Shoes,
(Sony Kids Music, 1993). For the a cappella section near the
end, I have written out the lyrics for both Amy's and Emily's
parts. If you spot any errors please let me know. Thanks and
enjoy.
