Transcribed from the original recording

The version I’ve added is almost identical except that I’ve added in the birls, put in slightly less syncopation and included the 4th bar variation in the A part. I’ve also put the key as E major. I know there isn’t a D note anywhere in the tune so it could theoretically be E mix but it doesn’t sound like that on the recording and it certainly doesn’t sound like it’s in A major (it sounds like it’s in Eb major, but that’s another story).

Woops, key signatures!

Yeah, Emajor is a good shout, I deferred to the transcription on Nigel’s site when I found it, should have stuck to my guns with E!

Cheers Donald :-)

Very nice tune, thanks! :)

Chords?

Love this tune! Anyone have the chords?
