Ah, yes, the good ol' days of Mortification. That last part is the only area 
where you can play something different than what is indicated. If you can't 
figure out other ways to play it, e-mail me and I'll see what I can do. Remember 
that this song is copywrited, which I guess gives them special rights. I don't 
really know, but I think that you aren't allowed to play this in public or 
something.
Oh Well.
