Well, this is a momentous occasion....my first tablature. I hopefully got
all the parts in.  The previous tab submitted was incomplete in many ways,
so I decided to fill in the gaps.  Several notes: Each verse Riff varies
slightly at the end, but I didn't think this enough to worry about.  I don't
think that the F# in the final Headstrong verse is right, but I couldn't find
that perfect chord, so if you get it, let me know by e-mail.  Finally, thanks
to Katherine for inspiring me to figure out the song and to write it on
tablature to share with all.  Thanks!, God Bless all of you.
