Outro
This was a real labour of love but it should be mostly correct.
Obviously there are parts that are really hard to hear and as a
result may not be perfect so don't hesitate in suggesting any
corrections. As usual you comments are welcome.
Also, I encourage you to register a rating for this tab - whether it
be a good or bad one. The only way I know that a tab needs improving
or not is if people give it a rating. Thanks in advance.
