Thanks for all the help. This is the first time that I have heard a tune and been able to play most of it without seeing the written music. As this is my first taste of 'playing by ear' I am going to persevere without written music for now. I really should pay more attention to Malcolm's pointers though, how did I miss the key given below the lyrics? Thanks evryone for all the ideas I will get around to tying them all I am sure.Roger
