"Walking in the Sun"

Yester-day I listened to the second disc of Zombie Heaven in order to listen to the Decca era songs to which the Zombies added overdubs in December 1968.  The French horn part in "Walking in the Sun" sounded easy to figure out, but while I was figuring that out, I discovered that I'd forgotten all of the other parts I'd learned for the song and that I hadn't written them down.

I re-learned the guitar part pretty easily, and in comparing it to my old recordings of the song, I discovered that I'd been missing a few things.  There's a little phrase in the transitions from C major to A minor, and I'd missed an F minor.

Here's my updated recording, with (fake) French horn, guitar, and electric piano.  I'm sure the electric piano part isn't that accurate; mostly I included it to fill out the sound a bit more and to demonstrate the Hohner Pianet sound I can get on my Nord Electro 5.

I notated the French horn part.  At the beginning of each verse, it's:

And then it doubles the title phrase (note that this is repeated):

Here's the guitar part, a combination of tabs and chords.

Introduction

Chorus

The F major lasts six beats, and the F minor two; see the French horn part (specifically the A and G# in the last two measures) for a guide.

E|:-------------|-------------:|-------------|---------|-3---3---|

The third time through, the song fades out during this repeated section.

Bridge

A minor | C major

E|-3---3---|

A minor | F major | F minor

Repeat from the beginning of the verse

---&---

There are C majors under:

B|-5-5-3-5-5-5-|
G|-5-5-5-5-5-5-|

and F minors under:

B|-6-6-5-6-6-6-|
G|-5-5-5-5-5-5-|

As I mentioned above, in my previous recordings, I'd missed the guitar phrase in the transitions from C major to A minor. I'd like to point out that in one transition from a C major to an A major in "I Don't Want to Know," Paul Atkinson plays this same phrase (albeit an octave lower).
