Andy writes: "I didn't work this one out. I bought it for 12.5p in about 1972 from Blue Mountain Music. I expected a proper print and got a photocopy of a handwritten manuscript which is now disintergrating,so it is probably better sitting on Adrian's excellent site.

" I suspect this isn't from anything Ian or Mick wrote, but someone transcribing it from the record, so the words could be suspect - on the otherhand, they could be a faithful copy from the original - you never now!

"It is in Bb, though I don't ever remember comparing it to the record (I'm sure it goes na na na na na, but what is written here is la la la etc)"
