I didn't tell you how many times to repeat a section, because there
are a bunch of different ways of playing this song, so repeat when 
necessary, and you should do fine.
Not terribly difficult, but a beautiful song. Any questions, comments,
can be sent to DwrfBoy1@aol.com. Have fun.

PS The previous one was screwed up from changing the formats, 
so this one works well. Just, if you wanna print it, save it to your 
hard drive in order to get the staff to line up with the page.
