Subject: Chord Req: Melancholy March - Dory Previn - Julie L From: PHJim Date: 26 Jul 22 - 03:07 PM I am looking for the chord changes to "Melancholy March" written by Dory Previn and recorded by Julie London. Many thanks to anyone who can help. |
Subject: ADD: Melancholy March (Dory Langdon Previn) From: Joe Offer Date: 26 Jul 22 - 03:23 PM Not the chords, but I always think it's useful to post the lyrics, too. Maybe with the lyrics and recording, somebody can work out chords for you. MELANCHOLY MARCH (Dory Langdon Previn, as recorded by Julie London) Melancholy March, your gloom is showing Your winds are blowing across the sky Melancholy March, your clouds are crying Your trees are sighing as though they'll die I know you’re late for winter's tale (unclear) Too early for any spring So we stand hand in hand Waiting for anything Melancholy March without a season You have no reason or rhyme to be Melancholy March, meet melancholy me Melancholy March, meet melancholy me Julie London recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3h2kTzFw5ts Calendar Girl playlist (Julie London): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFC023E9E1487AEC4 |
Subject: RE: Chords req: Melancholy March (Dory Previn) From: leeneia Date: 27 Jul 22 - 12:20 PM That's a challenging tune, PHJim. The first six notes are chromatic - no chord there. So far, if I put it in 4/4 to accommodate the beginning, subsequent chord changes come at odd places. In short, this is jazz - careful jazz with a composed accompaniment. How would you feel about keeping the words and composing a new tune? |

This was a for weekly uke challenge that I take part in and this week it was to sing a song with your birth month mentioned in it. Here's what I came up with: Melancholy March ukulele challenge |
