Notes: It's in standard tuning, which makes me wonder if it's Jerry 
       playing guitar on this one.  Although this song isn't driven 
       by the guitar, it was difficult to figure out.  I'm willing 
       to bet this is about 95% accurate.  Sadly, I don't think we'll 
       ever know for sure.

               * Gtr.1 : The time gap between playing these
                         two identical notes is very short
                         to achieve a subtle delay effect.
