***THIS IS FOR THE 2011 REVIVAL VERSION OF GODSPELL, NOT THE ORIGINAL. - THIS WAS WRITTEN TO ACCOMMODATE ONLY 2 GUITARS, WHILE THE FULL PLAY CALLS FOR 3. - BECAUSE THIS IS ONLY THE PARTS I WAS ASSIGNED, N.C. WILL BE NOTED ON SECTIONS I HAD NOTHING. - THIS WILL ONLY INCLUDE WHAT I PLAYED WHEN MY THEATER PERFORMED IT. - SOME PARTS MAY IMPROVISED AND NOT WHAT IS ACTUALLY ON THE RECORDING TO ACCOMMODATE OUR SMALLER BAND.*** - With all that in mind, this should get you in the ballpark if you feel the need to change things. - I've also included the measure numbers to help follow along if you don't have the book in front of you.
