Figure 1 - This is a saxophone part which repeats several times in the song.
           Each time it's played the last two bars are a bit different, but
           I just tabbed out how it's played the first time through, in the
           Intro.

Notes:

-For the first 16 bars of the Outro, the bass holds down a D note, but the
 guitar part over it is based on a D E F A chord progression. That's why 
 I've transcribed it as a D chord for that full 16 bars. Then for the next 
 8 bars both bass and guitar play the D E F A progression.
-Bar lines indicate measures of 4/4 time.
-Dots (...) located under any staff are for timing, and indicate where the
 downbeats (1234) fall.
