Transcribed by Gavin Chart (contactus@gartfrets.net) NOTES: The tuning for the song seems to be three-quarters of a tone below standard. It's probably just how the recording turned out rather than some esoteric tuning that Elliott devised. If you have a chromatic tuner that indicates quarter-tones, you're laughing. If not, you'll have to console yourself with not playing along this time. Timing is 3/4, but reasonably quick. Just listen, and you'll get it. You're counting three beats to the bar, as if you were waltzing. INTRO: Notes: The Intro is extended but there's lots of repetition. I thought about splitting it into smaller Guitar Figures, as I usually do, but also thought that might be annoying. For only the first four bars I do have as a repeated figure. Even this turns up later on in the middle of other stuff.
