NB:
*[b^c] indicates a deliberately awkward-sounding
string bend, from a 'B' note to almost a 'C' note
(done by fingering the 7th fret of the high E
string, and bending it up almost a complete semi-tone).
**The short musical interlude, (the 'Bach Bit'!),
indicated by [**] is as follows:
'Bach Bit' (Tab):
E----------------------------------

D-----------------------3--2--3----
A----------------------------------

***'nc' indicates no chord is to be played.
