Note:
- Guitar 4 introduces Part 4.
- First 8 Bars of Part 7 are played by Guitar 1 only, after that,
Guitar 2 and 3 join in.
- Interesting thing is that the different versions of 'Flowers In Our Hair'
on the debut-album and on the 'Winter Words' album (which may be identical to
the single-version which I don't know) have a somewhat different mix in part 7
(The mix differs slightly in other parts as well).
