 to precisely figure out what he does.
 
 Timing indications (e.g. 0`35") are from my CD player. 
 
 Intro solo (starts at about 0`35"):

 I indicate (approximatively) when to play what by putting lyrics fragments
 under the tab. Bars are just here to provide convenient seperations,
 not to indicate the beat.

 What follows is only a part of the ending. It ends up at about 6`15".
 (right before the fade out).
 Some parts are really just guesses (actually, the whole thing is, but I really

 totally wrong). I underlined them with "?".
