Corrections and clarifications are completely welcomed

Please Note: Attempting to transcribe piano music into something readable on
E-mail poses difficulties, but with a song like «Flying Dutchman» those
Difficulties are multiplied greatly. To my knowledge, the sheet music has not
Been published, and what appears here is what I have figured out by ear. I
Have attempted to make this as complete as I could while making it legible.
In order to save my sanity, I have not transcribed the way (I think) Tori
Plays all of the F-C-G vamps, since she varies it almost every time. By
Experimenting with the chords I give for the «main vamp», you should be able
To come reasonably close to the way the song sounds on the recording.
