-- 4/4 // keys: D, F/Dm, C // Andante (pretty slow)
-- Sequence: A1-A2-B-A1-A1-A3 (note repeat signs & textual notes)
[may wanna throw out an "A" or two--unless you got a string
orchestra!--like Sabbath--to keep "building" interest....]
-- chords & notes easy enough, but timing "hellacious," so had
to resort to the dreaded w-h-q-e-s-t shorthand:
w = whole note; h = half; q = quarter; e = eighth; s = sixteenth
q. = dotted quarter (etc.); [q] = quarter rest (etc.)
q-q = tied quarters (also, ===== another aid to duration)
q3 q3 q3 = quarter triplets (etc.)

FINAL NOTE: This is as close to the recording as I could get ten years or
so ago--but I recall that, when playing it with a guitar buddy, the
Asus4 & G5 chords seemed to clash a bit with the "lead" melody, since the
pitch ranges are so damn close. So I substituted the following voicings
at one point, and it worked out pretty well:
G5 Asus2

|||||4 ||||3| Now, about that string section....
