Arranged by PD. february 2003

Note: As usually the arrangement was done with freedom.
Unfortuately the melodic bass is hardly included in this
arrangement. Note the extensive use of syncopations,
you may have difficulties with them. The fingering is
also not something obvious, but with an intermediate
experience it won't be problem for you.
