This is taken from the soundtrack of Dumb and Dumber. There are a few places where I can't make head nor tail of the words - speak English, woman!

(x = Left-hand-muted percussive note) This is played four times as an intro (drums come in the second time, and harmonica and Hammond come in the third time).
