I am looking for the dots for this one, can anyone help?

There may have been a request before but I think it was tacked onto another thread.

Thanks

John

I don't know it, but is it the MIDI playing on this page?

Hi, Sorcha - I think what's playing on that page is "A Little Bit of Heaven."

I'll simply point you back to the discussion (also linked at the top of the page) here where you'll learn more than you possibly could need about Ellis.

This is the second time in fairly close temporal proximity that a question about this song or Ellis Island itself has come up. Is there some reason (an event, or date in history?) more people are paying attention to this subject now?

Thanks for looking Sorcha.
I'm still hoping.

We would really appreciate some help with the tune. We heard the song when we were in Ireland, earlier in the year, and can remember how the verse goes but not the chorus. Is there anyone out there who can help?

Regards
Marion

I sing the song, but I'm not really a musician and can't do recognised notation unless in proper manuscript normal clef, which for me would be laborious. PM me with a phone number and I'll sing it to you down the phone.
