"She Needs Company"

Last night, I finally notated the saxophone part in "She Needs Company" that I figured out last week, and I had an-other realization about the song.  It's in E major, which has four sharps, so in a way, there's a representation of the description "both dressed so sharp in all the latest fashions," although, obviously, the meanings of these two sharps are different.  Furthermore, most of the longest notes in the saxophone part are sharps, lending some more emphasis to these particular pitches.

Of course, there's the disclaimer that I may have something wrong, but I think the part is something like this:


The song actually contains two saxophone parts.  So far, I've figured out only one, but I may have inadvertently mixed the two.
