    Ronniemes,

    Ah, a great old song. Thanks for posting it. I like that you put in lyric cues. Excellent idea!

    However, you might want to take another look at your file.

    You have four bars to each refrain instead of the normal eight and the style you indicate is "Jazz - Long Notes," which make for strange timing and weird sound on playback.

    Two corrections: You show the key as being in C, but your file is in D, and the A6 chord before the First Ending should be an A7.

    I used the tune in a play once. My version is in G, the key of the Coward recording, although some of my chords are different from his and yours.

    Ronniemes,

    Yes, that fixed it.

    My version uses slightly different changes and a few more chords than yours.

    BTW, the A6 just before the 1st ending should be A7. Obviously a typo.

    Cheers,
    Jer
