Guess I'll feel the same tomorrow

Notes:

-Bar lines indicate measures of 4/4 time. (I think it's 12/8, actually, but 
 the tab can easily be followed as 4/4.)
-Dots (...) located under any staff are for timing, and indicate where the
 downbeats (1234) fall.

^...bend (w=whole tone,s=semi)          /...slide up
r...release bend                        \...slide down
