A Trick of the Tail

Annotations

Recorded at a pitch of 444 Hz, presumably simply what the piano was tuned to.

The tempo fluctuates between 118 bpm in the intro and 125 bpm in the post-chorus before the bridge, but it always comes back to a rather steady 120 bpm in the verses.

m. 78 Small mistake by Mike Rutherford here, the F♭ should be an F.
