Notes:

The ^ marks are supposed to indicate the beats in 4/4 time.

They should line up well with fixed-space fonts. There are

some 1/16 notes in here, e.g. at the end of measure 4.

The chord notation is fairly standard; Do indicates D

diminished, and Bb is B-flat.

The run at the end of measure 4: try to end it with the

2nd finger on the Ab note (the 7th of the Bb7 chord). This

allows for the melody line on the 2nd string.

Do not barre the last chord on the 7th fret or you may

hear an F# which would screw up the Dm. It's really a shame

to do the whole thing right and then hear a major chord at

the end. (I've done it).

This piece should be fun because you don't hear it on the

guitar often, and it could be done within a couple of weeks

or less.
