I have transcribed the acoustic guitar part of this lovely song. There is also some wah-stuff on a 
second guitar in the beginning of the song, a second rythm guitar in the main part that plays the
chords on higher strings, and the jazzy solo at the end of the song. Unfortunately I haven't trans-
cribed them yet, but I hope I'll get to it soon. So, here it is, hope you have some fun with it 
and try to find the hidden present ;)

There are always variations on these patterns during the whole song. You can try to figure them out, but the recording is
not that good and they most probably were improvisations the guitar player never even wrote down, so I don't believe them 
to be too important. It's better to try some own improvisation on it! =)
