  • "Rock" section:
     
    On the original record this section is in 4/4
  • (beats marked below the staves), but triplets
    dominate the lead tune creating an alternate
    6/4 meter marked below the staves. You can simplify
  • this part by playing only every second 4/4 (D) chords
    (later: 'A' bass). It's easier to learn this section
    with 6/4 meter in mind.

    Some parts of this arrangement are hard to play, or require tricky fingering.
    The outro is easier, if you are not advanced player, start with that.
  • This arrangement can be modified/simplified almost anywhere if you feel
    it's easier for you.
