G'day again,OK – I have captured the dots and run then the MIDI through Alan of Oz's Mid2text program. I have timed the track, so this MIDI should run at the same speed that Chlöe Roweth sings the song – if not with all the subtleties of her rendition.
Sorry about the dodgy spelling in my first post – that is what comes of posting details from what passes for my memory these days. I am still waiting for my review copy and I had borrowed a copy from a friend – but had to return it ... (Actually, I probably didn't notice the spelling because, somewhere in the extended family, I had a distant aunt Clarrie – short for Clarissa. I didn't think that too odd; my best friend's favourite aunt was Aunty Bill - short for Berilda! Nice lady, too ... believed in taking nephews - and their best friends - to shows and restaurants!).
Malcolm Douglas: Thanks for that information. I had a nagging feel that these words did not sound American. There's a very British feel to parts of the song (not that that means it won't turn up in America). I suspect that we are left with (Unknown) unless we find a really early copy with credit.
Anyway, enjoy the tune:
Regards,
Bob Bolton
