NOTES:
Just a note about the time-signature... I think the actual time-signature should probably be 12/8. (see Note "===" below in VERSE1.)
But I have it in 4/4 (with triplets - 3 notes on each beat).
If it were in 12/8, my tab would be twice as lonG5as I would only be able to fit two bars on each line. Hence, my "hack".
