KAYLEIGH

This has been superbly transcribed by Shane P Faulkner, and is at
Nevada, so I'm not going to repeat it here.



A VENDER

This has also been done, again by Shane, and is also at Nevada.

v) WINDSWEPT THUMB

This is played on a keyboard (I don't think the guitar plays in this 
bit)
though it sounds fine on a guitar if you're careful to let the notes 
ring
out fully.  Note it's played an octave higher that this for the verses 
on
the keyboard.

Engage panic circuits!
I have used XXX to indicate "pluck wildly at the same note for a 
while".
Not sure about the first chord!  Parts of this are completely wild.  I
love it, but I can't play it very well, or hear it!  Here's my best 
shot,
but I'm sure I've left several notes out in parts!

WHITE FEATHER

Okay, this has already been done by Dan Newcombe (it's at Nevada),
but to me it sounds a little different, so I've included my own
version.  The effects used make it really difficult to hear - I guess
everyone hears it differently!  But anyway...

To me it sounds like Steve plays pretty much the same throughout the
song, but replaces some of the fiddly bits with equivalent chords and
strums them a few times during the verses...?
