Hey there kiddies! Here's some more Lynch for ya. It's "Jim Henson's
Dead"
from his first album. I'm pretty sure the picking part through the
Intro,
Verse 1, and first Chorus isn't 100% correct, but it'll get through the
song
(I guess). As always, listen to the song to get the timing down and let
me
know if you have any questions or see any glaring mistakes.
