This song is one of the few Leo Kottke compositions
which uses an ordinary alternate bass finger-picking
style. It is also one of the few that I can wrap my
head around and get a reasonable transcription of.
All sections A-D are to be played twice. Often the
second run is slightly different from the first. For
the differences between the first and second runs that
are not fully transcribed, I have shown the notes to
be played in the second run in brackets.
