Notes and Legend
----------------
Margriet Verbeek sheet music available from http://www.margrietverbeek.nl/
The Squirel was written in 1973.

This piece is graded 'very easy' and has been tabbed accordingly. If it was
tabbed strictly to the sheet, it would be more difficult -

    measures 6, 22      meaure 8            measure 16          meaure 24
    |   .   |   .       |   .   |   .       |   .   |   .       |   .   |
  |-----0-3-7---9-7-| |-------------3-2-| |-------------5-3-| |-------------|
  |---0-------------| |---3-------------| |-3---------------| |---3---------|
  |-----------------| |-----2-----------| |---2---2---------| |-----2-------|
  |-0===============| |-------4-0-------| |-----4---0-------| |-------4-0---|
  |-5---------------| |-5===============| |-5===============| |-5===========|
  |-----------------| |-----------------| |-----------------| |-------------|

The sheet indicates slides for some of the left hand fingering, but not between
the actual notes (which would make more sense, given the piece's title).

measure 12 - in the sheet the intended fingering is unclear
           - there is a II above the G (2nd to last note)

left hand fingering below the tab -
1 - index finger
2 - middle finger
3 - ring finger
4 - little finger

===  - note held, length of note
/    - slide (finger) up
\    - slide (finger) down
< <  - crescendo, growing louder
> >  - decrescendo - growing softer
mf   - mezzoforte - moderately loud
mp   - mezzopiano - moderately soft
