Flying Dutchman

"China"
Flying Dutchman

! Please Note: Attempting to transcribe piano music into something readable on
! e-mail poses difficulties, but with a song like "Flying Dutchman" those
! difficulties are multiplied greatly. To my knowledge, the sheet music has not
! been published, and what appears here is what I have figured out by ear. I
! have attempted to make this as complete as I could while making it legible.
! In order to save my sanity, I have not transcribed the way (I think) Tori
! plays all of the -- vamps, since she varies it almost every time. By
! experimenting with the chords I give for the "main vamp", you should be able
! to come reasonably close to the way the song sounds on the recording.
