#style="COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 11px;">Okay, the version that was posted about two hours ago is the
#one available at animal-farm with the bad French, the wrong
#story about the second verse, and one chord per verse.  I've
#been promising to improve the version Paul Zimmerman originally
#posted for a while now; it's just taken a little longer than I
#had thought.
#
#Thanks to all who contributed to the French corrections and
#translation.  I was worrying that I'd get 5 different versions,
#but almost all the replies agreed, so I think we can put this
#version of the French down as pretty close to authoritative.
#
#The second verse is the same on my studio version and on
#Stop Making Sense, and I put that verse in sequence.  The other
#verse (reproduced with chords at the end of the file) is, I think,
#from the accoustic demo version of PK that is widely available on
#ROIOs.
#
#This is my arrangement--I've tried to incorporate the bass, etc.
#into one guitar line, so of course this will not be identical to
#the guitar on the record.

#{Then comes seven beats of A and one beat of G, played twice.}
#{You can emphasize these any way you like, really--I usually play}
#{the A's as a lock-step march, then do a kind of jangle with the G.}
