Ah, yes, the good ol' days of Mortification. That last part is the only area

where you can play something different than what is indicated. If you can't

figure out other ways to play it, e-mail me and I'll see what I can do. Remember

that this song is copywrited, which I guess gives them special rights. I don't

really know, but I think that you aren't allowed to play this in public or

something.

Oh Well.
