    Default I Only Have Eyes For You (a la The Flamingos)

    Approximating the classic doo-wop version by The Flamingos (posted here, rather than in Pop, to facilitate searches). Charted to play once-through only, and I recommend the Mixer's "Piano & Srings" setting for a more dreamy effect.

    There's two kinds of mistakes you can play: The ones you notice, and the ones somebody else might notice.

    Due to a v-bulletin issue, the forums lost about a week's worth of posts...
    Thanks for reposting the chart, Dale!

    My version differs a little bit from the one posted here by CyrilleB but that’s the way I hear it. It is possible that I didn’t get it all right — I saw CyrilleB’s version after making mine, and his transcriptions that I have seen so far are really good, so I guess I have reasonable doubts about mine right now.

    Here's my reharm of the tune. The chords are for four-note rootless voicings, some with extensions.
