   Hi,
   The guitar archive has the entire tommy album transcribed in one text
   file.  The location is ftp.nevada.edu:/pub/guitar/w/who/tommy.tab

   If you don't have access, I'll mail you a copy.  The transcriptions
   are the best I've seen, although not perfect.  The transcription
   for the acoustic guitar solo just before it's a boy is also pretty good
   in some places.   I would have never figured some of that stuff out.

Thanks for the pointer, David!  I knew the archive existed, but never
suspected it would include the pre-its-a-boy solo.  I've never had the
patience to figure that one out myself.

   I cut/paste the opening chords as that transcription plays them,
   and a little note about how I play them.:

    INTRO:
	   C     C/Bb     C/A     C/Ab     C/G     C     Gsus     G
	   x       x       x       x        x      x       5      5
	   5       5       5       5        5      5       5      5
	   5       5       5       5        5      5       7      6
	   5       5       5       5        5      5       7      7
	   3       x       x       x        x      3       x      x
	   x       6       5       4        3      x       x      x

Despite what the archive says, I don't believe that fourth chord is correct as
shown above.  Listen to the album: you can hear clearly how more than just the
bass note changes.  I still maintain it's:

Fm6/Ab
  x
  3
  5
  3
  x
  4

BTW, the other chords above are the same notes as what I had posted the other
day, but played on different strings.  I can see how the above would be much
easier to play.  (Also, I imagine, it sounds better to have all stopped
strings instead of a mix of open and stopped strings.)  It's an unfamilar
concept for a keyboardist that there are many ways of getting exactly the same
notes!
