At the end of July, I said I had only one more notation post planned, but then I never got around to posting it. Part of that was procrastination, and part of it was just my forgetting about it. So I finally got around to finishing off a patchwork notation (actual notation, chords, and tabs) of the guitar part in "I Don't Want to Know."
When I wrote out the riff in notation, I discovered that - while it's repeated so that it lasts a while - it's actually only two measures:
Here's the whole song written out:
|: Riff, played thrice
A major
C major / A major / B major :|
D major / A major

A major
C major / A major / B major
Riff, played just once
A major
C major** / A major / B major
D major / F# minor / G major / A major
D major / F# minor / G major / A major
F# minor / G major / A major / D major

**In the transition from this C major to A major, there's an added figure:
