"Is This the Dream"

It seems like I've known the bass part for this for a few months, but it's probably closer to a year or more.  I also know the first part of the electric piano solo.  I learnt it on bass, but it's a lot harder to play on electric piano.

I sort of think that the electric piano solo is in a different key from the bass part because the bass is solidly in E major, but the first notes of the electric piano solo are E, G, A, and Bb.  Aside from E, none of those notes are in the E major scale.  So something weird is going on there.

Back when the only Zombies album I had was a compilation album called Night Riding, this was my favourite song by them.
