This tablature represents my way of playing this tune.  I do not claim
it to be correct in any way, shape or form.  If you want to play it more
"correct", buy the album and transcribe it.  Corrections welcome by email,
thanks too.


Note: Dots show the approximate beats, four per measure.  Since there's
      no way to show the note values it's not always obvious which are
      1/4 notes, which are 1/8 and whether there are triplets, etc...
      I'm not really good at sheet writing, so it may be incorrect.

Note: The whole thing can be played in the 10th position (Dm "box"), but
      I've always played it in the 5th.

(I believe the A in the last bar is slightly syncopated, but since I don't
 own the record I can't check)

Theme #3:

I do a quick whole-step bend & release of the F going up with a flick
of the wrist, and I also tend to slide in on the first note, but I cannot
remember whether that is right or whether it's a habit I made myself.
