3 Transcribed from the track on this album.
4 Here, Sympathy for the Devil, refers to the producer's edit of a 1968 film
by Jean-Luc Godard whose original version is called, One Plus One. The film,
a depiction of the late 1960s, American counterculture, and featured the
Rolling Stones in the process of recording the song in the studio. The Stones
just happened to be recording that song "Sympathy for the Devil," and it
became the track that we used."
