That's it. Good? Bad? Email me if you find any errors. The solo isn't
perfect as I have added in a few extra notes, just to keep the beat or to
substitute for the piano, but you can sort it out for yourselves.
I have so much spare time on my hands at the moment...
And yes, this is all my own work and I haven't ripped it off any magazine.
