I tried my best to transcribe this version melody from the Transatlantic session. If some with a good ear for the ornamentation would be so nice to help me out there. Any comment is appreciated.

Re: Big Country

Good enough for me! Thanks for sharing!

Big Country, X:2

Few ornamentation notes added plus chords line.
Structure have been changed a little bit to stick as well as possible to the YouTube version.

Re: Big Country

You may want to change Dbm and Abm to C#m and G#m (and add an E to the first bar).
