okay, this one is for all you people who had a hard time trying to read in
 the last version Summer Song.  This one is 100% ASCII!  Same exact song,
 tab, and everything else.
 	By the way, I'm sorry about all the little "^M"s.  I don't know
 why my editor stuck those in!

 Note: Again if you don't have this tape/CD, or unless you know this song
         backwards and forwards, this is not going to make ANY sense
         whatsoever!!!!!! (Hopefully, it make sense even if you do!)
