        Note:  The original recording contains multiple layers of overdubbed 
 guitars, as many as six near the end when Jim Martin is improvising over the 
 harmonized repeat.  However, I've compressed this into two guitars to make it 
 easier to play, while trying to maintain the original sound and feel as much 
 as possible.  Enjoy!
