Let Down

	  		 
NOTE: 
Transcribed to generate appreciation for an outstanding guitar part. 
Style of a tweaked REM progression.  Odd time signature-- beautiful  
transition into the song (when the band kicks in, during the 1st and 
2nd verse). During the break, use (Part H) as a guide, but best to make 
up your own or just take a smoke break, since there's all kinds of 
guitar/synth going on at that point.  It should be noted that this 
illustration in no way condones cigarette smoking of any kind.
