"I like the main, lazy-sounding theme from The Great Race (Lemmon, Natalie Wood, T.Curtis)"
The theme is also one of my favorites:
The Sweetheart Tree
Words & Music by Johnny Mercer & Henry Mancini
Recorded by Henry Mancini, 1965
From the movie "The Great Race"
G7 C Em Dm7 G
They say there's a tree in the forest,
C Am7 Dm7 G
A tree that will give you a sign;
Fdim Am Em F C
Come along with me to the Sweetheart Tree,
C/B Am D7 Dm7/G G7
Come and carve your name next to mine.
G9 C Em F Dm7/G
They say if you kiss the right sweetheart,
G7 C C7 F Cdim
The one you've been waiting for,
C Gm7 C7 F Cdim
Big blossums of white will burst into sight
C Dm7 G7 C
And your love will be true evermore
