*************************** END (enjoy it!)***********************

        I did it. I finally did it. Well, the transciption of this song has been
especially difficult cause half the song was transcripted without the first
string (that?s the thinnest). Anyway, I was there, even knowing that I wouldn?t
get a good mark in my Literature Theory exam if I keept losing time with this
song. And I see three ways in wich you can pay me my effort:

        1)Inviting me to drink a beer(kinda difficult cause most of you are
        in another continent).
        2)Sending me loads of e-mails telling me how cool I am.
        3)(And definitely what I?d prefer)Tabbing a song from Mourning Widows.

        If you have any suggestion,correction, or question to make, send an
email to:

   asc12@alu.um.es   or   nunozowie@mixmail.com
