Moonshine Whiskey

NOTE ABOUT TIME AND TEMPO:
There are a number of time and tempo changes in this song.
It goes from 112bpm in 6/8 to 96bpm in 2/2 so it can be a bit confusing.
These changes aren't intuitive either. They tend occur at the end of the verse and the bridge
but before the next section starts. So, technically, you'll have a a couple measures of different time
and tempo before the section changes.
I have denoted a time change with a *, so if you see that, the next measure is a different time.
The best thing to do is to play along with the recording to get a feel for the changes.

I've done my best to align the changes with Van's ad-libbing in the bridge sections,
but it may not be perfect. The same caveat exist for the riffs; I tried. Mea culpa.
