I've included most, (if not all) of the fill-in runs
which you hear throughout the song. There are a lot of
them. I've done this in very detailed, small increments
to be more easily read. I've tried to place them where
they belong in reference to the lyrics.

INTRO:x=muff /=slide up =slide down b=bend r=rake(pull-off)
