 transcribed by Kevin Gardner (code@wam.umd.edu)
 
 notes on this recording
 This is a transcription on the version of Caravan found on their
 first LP, "Walk Don't Run." It varries in many ways from the live in
 Japan '65 version, namely:
 #1 It has a tonality of B, the live version has a tonality of E
 #2 It features slower, less agressive playing tahn Japan '65
 #3 It features an intro and a clossing section that is not on Japan '65
 #4 It fetures a lower octave melody section
 
 The song arangement:
 the intro guitar lines are double stops using parralell 4ths 
 the main theme is played twice
 theme #2 is played once
 then the main theme is repeated with a varriation at the end of each bar
 after a four note low octave run the main theme is played an octave lower
 with varriations
 and finally there is an outro, which is a varraition in the intro
