    Sorry, but files posted above have a couple of mistakes compared to the original tune.

    For example, the B section should be only 15 bars long, not 16. And the G69 chords in the B section should be G9 chords.

    And the tune doesn't repeat ABA, but AB, until the last chorus, when A is played going to the Coda and the extension on section C.

    Here's my corrected version, from Chuck Sher's Standards Real Book. I've also added a few passing bass notes.

    What The World Needs Now-Rev JE - Burt Bacharach

    Cheers,

    P.S. This tune belongs in the Jazz section as well. It's an excellent improvisation vehicle.
