			 (Part III of "Plague of Butterflies")
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just my intuition of the basic chord structure. If you're playing it with a guitar,
I suggest using drop-C tuning, so that you can play the C minor as an open chord. 
It sounds great that way, especially with an acoustic
guitar. Hope you like the tab!
