Thread Name: Lyr Req: When men sing / When All Men Sing
Subject: Tune Add: WHEN ALL MEN SING (Scowcraft, Gifford)
I sort of fell into this thread a week or so ago.
I've not heard the song so I chased the words up and thought, "I rather like that"
OK so far.
Now I need a tune!!. So I took the notation given in this thread by HERGA KITTY and came up with this ABC :-

************************************
X:1
T:When All Men Sing
M:2/4
L:1/4
C: Words by Keith Scowcraft, tune by Derek Gifford
K:F
|:C/2|FG|AF|BA|G>C|
FG|Ac|B(A|c)>c|
dB|Bd|cB|A>A|
GA|GF|E(C|C)C|
FG|AF|BA|G>C|
FG|Ac|BA|c>c|
dB|Bd|cB|A>A|
B2|G2|(F2|F3/2):|
***************************************
Now, if any of you Mudcatters would like to print out the dots, run through the tune and tell me if it sounds anything like it should!! and suggest changes then I will have both words and tune.
