This is all my own work and everything.

This wicked song was released as a single in the UK
 in late 1979 and got to 18 in the hit parade but has
 probably appeared on some greatest hits things since
 and it's worth seeking out - it's got brilliant
 lyrics but I'm afraid I ain't allowed to use them,
 but I've tried to make it as easy to understand as 
 possible...  Respect to Ediz Sohoglu, master
 guitarist and man of many alternate tunings, 
 if you're out there...

Middle 8: (This is difficult to work out but it
           starts in D and stays there for ages
