				The Flame
			     by Cheap Trick

	 	      Transcription by Neil Bergin

Please note:

	Where the words appear under the tab, the tab and the words timing
	are NOT synchronised. I suggest you play the song a few time, get
	playing the tab fluently and the tab/words timings will sort
	themselves!!
