                   Solo tabbed by Justin Lee (Cheeser@uoknor.edu)

 Additional chord voicings and corrections Dave Dolphin (c/o Cheeser@uoknor.edu)



Please feel free to comment or correct.  The solo isn't *exactly* what is played

on the CD, but it's pretty close.  The main difference is the little arpeggio action

from time to time.  Which I think I can play, but I'm doing this without the

benefit of the CD.  Have fun!
