Song
CANTSPEAK
=========
transcription: Liam Wolfen Cullen, Ryq
Notes: The riff of this song is simply the guitar track of "Let It Be
Captured" reversed and digitally manipulated in the studio (the
figure below is an approximation of what the real-time figure
would be). On stage, John would use effect pedals to emulate
the backwards guitar.
