  DESPERADO (Henley & Frey, 1973)--"Organ" Part
  =========
   
  -- guitar arrangement: tcg, 2/89
    --4/4 // Key of G // Andante (pretty slow)
    --use vibrato and/or wave effex box to mimic organ sound
    --note durations: s=sixteenth note; e=eighth; q=quarter; q.=dotted quarter;
        h=half; w=whole; [e]=eighth rest . . . 
        w>-----    --!x!=play harmonic
    --since only the "highest" four strings are played in this "melody chord"
        arrangement, the low e & a strings are omitted in the actual tab
    --chords are named according to voicings shown here; NOT rhythm-chord
        designations, necessarily (though do harmonize with "book" chords)
    --some way-up-the-fingerboard chords have been reduced to two notes
        rather than three to ease fingering on a small (my!) fretboard
    --"Organ" part begins with first "B" section ("Don't you draw the queen of
        diamonds....")
