Geocache Description:

The cache coordinates above are not correct. To find the correct coordinates you'll need to reference the lyrics to the Beatles song that was the namesake of this cache.

The coordinates can be found by counting the number of words and letters in the lyrics (LYRICS...not title. Start counting at "It's".) Each letter corresponds to the number where it falls in the alphabet example:
+ = Second letter of the second word.
Second word is "been" so the second letter is "E"
E is the fifth letter in the alphabet so E=5
Therefore + = 5

One more twist just for a bit of fun.
When you log this cache make your online log one word longer than the previous finder.
Sorry to those of you that only post "SL" or "TFTC" (unless you are FTF, that is) Your log also does not need to include the previous finders words. Depending on how many people are able to find this cache eventually those logs will be "Long, Long, Long." If you come across a fuddy-dud that doesn't want to play along and just posts, "SL" just ignore their log and make your log one word longer than the person before them. - This only applies to "Found" Logs and doesn't apply to DNFs, Notes, Needs Maintenance, bug drops, etc.

Long, Long, Long,
By The Beatles
Written by George Harrison

"It's been a long long long time,
How could I ever have lost you
When I loved you.

It took a long long long time
Now I'm so happy I found you
How I love you

So many tears I was searching,
So many tears I was wasting, oh. Oh

Now I can see you, be you
How can I ever misplace you
How I want you
Oh I love you
You know that I need you.
Ooh I love you."

Here's the code:

N !@ #.$%, W ^& 0~.?0

! = Ninth Word, First Letter
@ = Second Word, First Letter
# = Thirty-Fifth Word, Third Letter
$ = Twenty-Ninth Word, Fifth Letter
% = Fourth Word, Fourth Letter
^ = Eighth Word, First Letter
& = Thirty-First Word, First Letter
~ = Fortieth Word, First Letter
? = Twenty-Fifth Word, Third Letter
