Fixes and modifications (M=measure r=rhythm s=string):
Missing rhythm dots restored at m16r1, m21r1, m23r1, m25r1.
M25r3 original showed no rhythm symbol, implying 8th. Changed to 4er here.
Tablature elements to be added by hand:
No slurs in this piece.
Strums: Arrowheads ^ and v indicate strums. Open strings in strummed chords
were not shown in the tablature; add as many open strings as sound good.
Take a moment to re-draw the ^ arrowhead right at the top of the associated
stem.
