The lines are blocks of 4, for two reasons. First, the phrases are for the most part in
of 4. Second, I write in 8 measure phrases on a landscape layout but ultimate-guitar
allow the space, and that is also the reason the tabs will be written verse to verse
instead of my standard way. I apologize now, I dislike reading tabs as shown below, but it
the simplist way for it to be done.
If you would enjoy the full version, my email is mhuckins@gmail.com, I would gladly
