Note that since the guitar is played through a volume pedal and the notes fade in and out, the values here are approximate.
Since I figured out the part earlier this year (and perhaps even before then), I thought it odd that the last two measures have no notes. (Admittedly, there may be one note there that I'm missing, but it's so faint that it's basically negligible.) I realized yester-day that this lack of notes may be significant.
Because the second line had been following what the first line established (the fifth and sixth measures have the same rhythm and the same intervals as the first and second), the omission of the longer notes in the seventh and eighth measures is conspicuous. This prominent musical absence mirrors the narrator's prime concern: "My baby's gone."
