       Note:  The original recording contains multiple layers of overdubbed
guitars, as many as six near the end when Jim Martin is improvising over the
harmonized repeat.  However, I've compressed this into two guitars to make it
easier to play, while trying to maintain the original sound and feel as much
as possible.  Enjoy!

OK, if you really think there's only one guitar for this song, then you are deaf. At points there are four or five guitar parts overdubbed! This is pretty good, but not perfect. I'm not sure they'd accept another tab, but if people like I'll do one with all (or maybe just most) of the various guitar parts. Any takers?
