								   end of verse


In measure 9 of first verse, there's a slight nuance: 

| 1  &  2  &  3  &  4  & |
==========================

|----7--7-----7--0--0--0-|
|----6--6-----6--6--6--6-|
|----4--4-----4--4--4--3-|
|----5--5-----5--5--5--5-|
|------------------------|
|------------------------|


Return to INTRO for second time, then VERSE for second time, however, there
is a slight nuance of the second verse, measure 5 which is the same as
the above nuance.  Also, measure 8 of the second verse varies slightly:

| 1  &  2  &  3  &  4  & |
==========================

							end of second verse


Return to INTRO for third time, however measures 5 thru 9 change: 

| 1  &  2  &  3  &  4  & | 1  &  2  &  3  &  4  & | 1  &  2  &  3  &  4  & |

Then the 3rd verse continues, however, the first 4 measures of the verse that
are repeated 3 times in the 1st and 2nd verses, are repeated 4 times in the
3rd verse. 

The 24th measure of the 3rd verse starts VERSE PRIME:

VERSE PRIME:

|-5-----5----5-5--------5-|----5--5-----5---5-5-5-5-5-5- ||


Repeat the last 4 measures 3 more times, however on the 
last repeat, substitute the following for the last measure:

| 1  & a 2  &  3  &  4  & |
===========================

|----5-5-5--0--5--0--7/ 8\|
|----3-3-3--3--3--3--6/ 7\|  Then the 4th verse is played, same as the 1st
|--------------------4/ 5\|  verse, except the first 4 measures are played 
|--------------------5/ 6\|  4 times instead of 3 times as in the 1st verse.
|-------------------------|
|-------------------------|


Note about the 4th verse:  the last 2 measures are left off of the 4th
verse and it goes into the coda:

| 1  &  2  &  3 e & a 4  & | 1  &  2  & a 3  &  4  &  |
