*8 repeats 4 times, the fourth time without the last 2 Gs.
The song ends in a dreamy riff not too unlike *4. I haven't tabbed
it out but I know it starts out like *4 with a few extra notes and
variations. I hope this helps out. Thanks...

I think that's pretty much thw whole song. I am not positive it is right,
but I played along with the CD and it sounded OK.
E-mail me with comments, suggestions, or just to let me know that you
downloaded it and are using it. (PLEASE REPLY!!!! It took me hours to type
