                             As recorded by Caravan

Words and Music by Pye Hastings

This isn't a strict note-for-note transcription; that can be found in the Powertab version 
with_an_ear_to_the_ground_you_can_make_it_power_tab.htm)
Rather, this is more like a chord sheet that also features riffs and solos.
