  22 <p>There were two takes, and since they are virutally identical, I'll
  23 present both...</p>
  24
  25 <p>The chords are written as if played with a capo on the 1st or the 3rd
  26 fret (for the two takes). On the recordings the guitar part is played
  27 with barre chords higher up on the neck.</p>
