On another note, does anyone have any idea what the chords are for "Beautiful Girl"? On the guitar tangent, I was messing around last night, and I think the opening to "Raymond Chandler Evening" is a slightly altered picked F-Chord and a slightly altered picked C-Chord; the F as a barre on the first fret and the C in open position.... *I'm strung out again, on the Vomiting Cross!* daveR.
