Over 110,000 hits and no complaints..hmmm..did you use a capo? I checked it over and it's fine. KK.

WestleyTwain..mate, I'm afraid there are many who don't know what transpose means, let alone how to do it. I've tried to explain a thousand times and some beginners just don't get it. That's why I use the capo. Some excellent and famous guitarists use a capo all the time, by the way. Cheers, KK.

I think the ending to the second part, from "Please turn on your magic beam...", should be: Dm Fm C D G C
