"Without Her"

Backdated, archival post

---&---

Yester-day I listened to a Harry Nilsson compilation album.  The bass part for "Without Her" (which Colin Blunstone covered under his Neil MacArthur pseudonym) sounded easy, so I just figured that out (while simultaneously notating it [it's still incomplete, but I have at least one instance of each section written down]).  I just referenced the Neil MacArthur version and discovered that while that bass part is more complex, at least it's in the same key.  Honestly, I'm not exactly sure what key it is, but I would guess A minor because there aren't any accidentals.
