I include in this transcription, Margie's second round, which after all is where the fun begins. (from bar 33) Its interesting how different transcriptions can be. Tux guitar only allowed 7 strings so B is on the bottom. You can use a complete triad on the third fret, but I thought it sounded muddy at tempo. In bar 44, I run down to the Bb on the 9th fret. I don't know if Margie played it like that, but it sounds good to me. I would have liked to force the software to write 4 bars to the line, but it refuses. Anyway, I dispensed with those pesky music abbreviation that seem efficient, but just confuse me.

Wow, thanks David! Andy, I would definitely be interested in your B11th arrangements. Doug, your stuff is always top notch! So many songs, too little talent, umm, I mean time. Confused
