				Notes
				-----

Guitar riff 1* is the last half of riff 1, starting at the spot marked
with the `^'.

Guitar 2 plays the chords when nothing else is indicated.  They're the
easiest to use if you bar all 6 strings, but just play the top 4.
Just before you move to the next chord (from D to C, say), hammer your
little finger onto the 9th (speaking of an interval, not a fret:
that's 12th fret for the D, 10th for the C, 8th for the Bb, and 6th
for the A).  The hammer-on requires a little dexterity, since it's
"behind" your other fingers, but if you can hit it hard enough, it
sounds *really* good.

Guitar riff 8 is really played by a synth, and then towards the end of
the song, it's joined by a guitar that plays very nearly the same
thing.
