This rare, B-side track is in the key of Eb, tuned a half-step down.
I simply pushed it up a halfstep to put it into the very guitar-friendly
key of E. If you want to play this along with the recording, simply
tune your guitar down a half-step and play as written here. I also
made some slight modifications; basically the additions of sevenths
to add a little bit more tension/resolution to it.
