Song Ends (4:13)
Here is the more detailed VERSION 2. I’m currently working on the solo. I used
to think that this song was played in D Flat, but now I think that this is what
sounds closest to what is actually played on the record. Anyone know why I can't
make a (\) without two appearing in the tab? Help would be appreciated in the corrections.
