----****----
A lot of corrections from my last version here.
This should sound better and be easier to play.
Many blanks from my previous tab have been filled
in as well.

Some of the fills are probably easier to play if
you move up to the d-string, but to me it sounds a
little bit too bright.  But it's something to keep
in mind if that makes it easier for you.
