Annotations
An exact tempo of 76 bpm will be very slightly out of sync a couple of times, but I still believe this was recorded to a click track, and the minor mismatch somehow happened in the editing process.
Although set in the keys of Cm and Fm, Tony Kanal often plays an open A string as a passing note.
m. 20 The E grace note was likely not done on purpose.
