                             Tablature Symbols Used:


 (/)       -  Legato Slide (Blank space indicates length of slide)

                                   Song Notes:
                                   -----------

 The low-end of the piano is augmented by (and, in many cases, substituted for)
 the bass guitar notes which are essential for playing the song with or without
   a piano.  Billy's piano style is unusual, and his left hand leaves a lot of
    work for the bassist to do by very often note providing the root note(s)
   for what is being played.  Consult my Guitar Pro tab to hear what I mean.
