.......................................................
Italics indicate non-melodic notes or spoken passages.
Underlines indicate harmony vocals, or notes obscured in the song's mix.
Boldface indicates outstanding notes/passages.
A portion of the higher notes may be considered falsetto, but I chose not to mark them for the most part.
