I was at the sheet music site, and the song "beautiful" was missing, so I
figured it out because everyone seems to like it so much.  It's also a bit of
penance for my decidedly non-"indie-rocker-cool" actions of late (I'm not
getting into it right now).  Anyway, the song stays in the 5th position and
below the whole song except for the part from "And talk to her..." to
"...Radio 4", where it is played from the 5th to 9th positions.  I hope it's
accurate, as I don't know how well my guitar tuner was working.
