Subject: Tune Add: DELILAH (Barry Mason/Les Reed)
Here's a version from memory; it's possible Tom Jones was a bit less strict with the rhythm than I've been here. I've put in those little fills in the 2nd voice (I didn't fill the voice in completely, but abcm2ps handles it fine) - just delete V:2 onwards if your program doesn't handle them. I've also sketched in some basic chords for it. The 2nd ending does the lead-in to the coda and the coda itself (you'll see).
