Here is my best guess on Cheap Day Return.  I picked it out about
10 years ago and haven't changed the way I play it since.  There are
TWO GUITARS THROUGHOUT SOME OF THE SONG AND SOME IMPROVISATION WAS
called for in order to make it sound fuller with only one guitar.
Any suggestions for improvement will be appreciated.  The strumming
picking style used necessitated some liberalization on my part. But for
the most part it's relatively close.

I'm not real sure about the chord in the ending.  The Bm may not
be correct.
