     repeat--it is about 12 measures long and is actually
played like a chorous part where the solos would be the
verses.   The song stays in this same pattern throught
the entire song though.


Here are the first few measures to the piano solo to give
an idea how it goes.

   That's as far as I got.  All of the solo parts are basically
in the same key/mode of Am or C.  This should give an
idea of how the solos are played.  Enjoy
