Notes
----This is usually played as a guitar duet (arranged by Nikita Koshkin) rather
than as a solo guitar piece. This allows one guitar to play the standard

rhythm while the other plays the triplets. The tab has tried to be faithful
to the sheet, even where the arrangement seems unnecessarily difficult, but
in some measures changes were necessary to make it playable. The markings for
the harmonics in measures 39-42 are ambiguous.
