"This Will Be Our Year"

Backdated, archival post

[link to original on tumblr]

---&---

I knew I was going to post the chords for "This Will Be Our Year" to-day, but a couple days ago, I was thinking about the bass part and realized that it's almost entirely quarter notes (there are a couple half notes and a triplet phrase).  So I notated that too, during which I found that I had a couple notes wrong in how I'd been playing it, although still - as always - there's no guarantee that this is correct (but I think it is):


The four in the first measure indicates the four measures of rest during the piano introduction.  I put the guitar chords above the bass part, but here they are typed out too:

|: A major / C# minor / A dominant 7 / D major
F major / E major / D major / A major :|

B major / D minor / A major
B major / D minor / D major / E major

|: A major / C# minor / A dominant 7 / D major
F major / E major / D major / A major :|

~key change~

|: Bb major / D minor / Bb dominant 7 / Eb major
Gb major / F major / Eb major / Bb major :|

C major / Eb minor / Bb major
C major / Eb minor / Eb major / F major

|: Bb major / D minor / Bb dominant 7 / Eb major
Gb major / F major / Eb major / Bb major :|

I should note that I found most of these chords something like seven years ago when I was first learning how to play piano.  I changed some to make them more accurate (what I originally found was rife with 7th chords, and I think there's only one [two, if you count the key change]).
