|-------------------------|--2----------------------|	This section was
|--1----------------------|--3----------------------|	invented by me
|--0----------------------|--2----------------------|	around the part
|--2----------------------|--0----------------------|	played with the
|--3-----2-----0----------|-------------------------|	piano at  this
|--------------------3----|-------------------------|	point in Wes's
  1 . 2 . 3 . 4 .  1 . 2 . 3 . 4 .	recording.

Notes:
   * `^' means downstroke, `h' means hammer-on.

   * In the 4th bar of this section, the 3rd beat and it's half-beat can
	either be played using the hammer-on to the treble note as shown above
	(in which case the chord on the 3rd beat becomes Dsus2), which is one
	of my personal favourite colourings, or the normal D fingering can be
	retained, with a downstroke on the 3rd beat and an upstroke on the
	following half-beat.

   * Don't worry unduly about playing only those strings shown in the tabs
	when doing downstrokes with your plectrum or thumb. In particular the
	C chord strums are shown with the treble-E string not played, but this
	isn't always easy to get right, so don't worry, be happy :-)

   * A reasonably flexible but reasonably firm pick/plectrum is best if you
	want to do this riff (IMHO).

G E N E R A L  N O T E S
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   1.	If you are playing solo, then the most important thing is to keep up
	the rhythm and chords, so you can forget the lead guitar solo parts.
	I like to use the last 4 bars of the OPTIONAL RHYTHM PART FOR RIFF A
	as my intro, and obviously stick to the RIFF A after the first verse,
	using it again after the second verse, where the recording has RIFF B.
	In place of the OUTRO, I just strum the chords of the rhythm guitar
	part, allowing the words (person... person... person... yeay) to hold
	the flow of the ending, and then finish with a flourish.

   2.	As always, learn the rhythm of the song from the recording.

   3. Enjoy!
