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.
