Outro: Most of this is quite hard to hear due to the feedback and I
       think its played on a keyboard as well.  I think it's best
       played with a clean guitar tone.  The feedback pitches are,
       for the most part A with occasional rises to A# and, towards
       the end, C.

Outro


I think the song structure is correct, but haven't got the CD
at hand to check the number of times Riff A is played.  Pretty
sure it's 4 for both times though.

Any comments, corrections or suggestions are welcome.
