                          (1983)

(This whole song should be played on a Rickenbacker 12-string or per 
"The Isle of View" on an acoustic 12-string! -- LM)

> The intro lick, that also continues through most of the song,> goes like this:>>> e|---------2-3-|-0-------2-3-|> b|-3-----------|---3---------|> G|---0---------|-----2-------|> D|-----0-------|-------------|> A|-------------|-------------|> E|-------------|-------------|
Try this instead -- let the bass notes ring. Note that the timing is triplets:
