Subject: RE: New Song from CapriUni
Thanks, Daylia!

To hear the tune quickly, cut 'n' paste the following:

X:1
T:magicverse.mid
M:4/4
Q:1/4=105
K:Eb
G2EEF2DC|-CC2EEG3|EG2ED4|E2F2EG3|ED2C2CE2|
G2EF3D2|E8|G2EEF2EE|-EC2E2EG2|EF2DE4|G2E2E2F2|
DF2EC3E|EC2DG3F|-FE7/2||

into the text window here, and click the submit button... That will give you a gif of the score, and a midi link to click so you can hear it.

... or something close. For some reason ABC doesn't like rests inside a measure, so in measure 7, where I have a half note and half note rest, the score that comes up puts a whole note... other than that, it's exact...

Hope this helps!

Oh, and for the refrain I'm considering would be to repeat the last half line of each verse, with a slight variation on the melody line, as in:

"...Where boys are boys forever, with their Captain Peter Pan --
With their Captain Peter Pan.

And:

"The power that can change the world, only hard-earned cash can buy --
Only hard earned cash can buy"
