Flash back time.... OK - I said it before but I need to repeat
this disclaimer - for those of you who want exact notes/timing -
get the recording. I learned this puppy off an 8-trk tape ~15? years
ago. I play the intro every once in a while when I'm fooling
around, and this is how I remember it. I'm not even sure what the
name is.... the request was for _Madam Blue_, but then during
correspondance wrote (sweet) Madam Blue...  Anyways this is my
recollection:


Sweet Madam Blue (STYX)
(as per d.badermans hazy memory....)

Seems like I jump to 3/4 time for the next line - this is probably
not correct, so if you have a source, listen to it....

Weird notations:
 ss -> slow strum
 ^ -> down strum
 V -> up strum

My brain hurts -someone else posted the following, and as I can't remember the
rest of the song, I will just include it. NOTE: I am sorry I have no idea who
submitted the following - it was forwarded to me without credits...
