"Solitary Man"
                                 (Neil Diamond)
                                  Neil Diamond
                          No. 55, 1966 and no. 16, 1970

Note: The intro riff is a little difficult to transcribe, but this should
give you
      a good idea of how it goes. The horns were much easier.
