Notes: These lyrics and chords are my best guess/interpretation of how to
play the song.  The small bit of tab is sort of a lead riff that is played
during the verses under the 'A' and 'D' progression.  Listen to the CD to
get it right.  A '|' denotes a measure break when I'm just putting chords
over lyrics.  A '/' denotes a slide from the first note to the second note
