 <br/>
  Hello there <br/>
 <br/>
  Hope this transcription is somewhere near the mark, as I've only <br/>
  got crappy old vinyl to work from. <br/>
 <br/>
  Thanks to Paul Hutchinson for the chords and the inspiration, <br/>
  and yes this song is way too short. <br/>
 <br/>
  Thanks <br/>
  Christopher Keen  [ CKeen@rmit.edu.au ] <br/>
