I can tell you that it's in the key of A, so the chords of A, E, D, and their 7ths are good bets. When it gets wistful, try an F#m. Time seems to be 4/4. The first four notes are quarter notes, C# A C# A. That ought to get you started. Funny thing about this song: it seems to hate the note G#. I quickly heard that C's and F's were sharp, and after that I needed to hear a G or G# to tell if it's in A or D. I finally heard one (G#) in a little swoop of the brass part in the accompaniment. Is that diagnostic? I'm not sure. The whole song could be in D. That changes your likely chords to D, G and A. Em for a change of mood. |

You could enter the notes into a music notation software programme and then save it as a MIDI file. I use NoteWorthy Composer . It's relatively cheap in price compared with some music notation software, but extremely useful and easy to use for a lot of practical uses. Alternatively, you could write the music notation as ABC Notation and then use an ABC to MIDI converter . |

I was using that and a MIDI keyboard (aka MIDI controller) to get started on 'Morning Glory.' Once a person has the musical knowledge to sound out a melody, s/he can do so much with a MIDI keyboard and a MIDI program - write music down, change the key, write harmony parts, compose original pieces, figure out chords. It adds so much to one's musical life. |

As unreliable as ever, the irritating AI played "Morning Glory" by The Wurzels.. .. could have been worse.. at least she didn't play Oasis... |
