NOTES
This was an instrumental that was a UK #1 for Fleetwood Mac in 1969.
The electric guitar part is transcribed below. Given that there are only
two chords to the song (Emaj7 and F#m), you could probably work out a bass
part for a friend to play... Enjoy! Timing is 4/4.

/ - slide up
\ - slide down
~ - vibrato


Chords:
Emaj7   021100
F#m     244222
