The Mancini tune.
I need to play this with a singer at a wedding. Don’t know the tune, can’t find a chart, can’t find a vocal recording. What I do have is a Dave Grusin album (Two For the Road) with an instrumental arrangement.
Transcribing the chords is no problem, but I need help assembling the tune’s three sections into the usual form that a vocalist will know. (I don’t know the lyrics, and plan to look them up online - ignoring my scruples - this may help. But meanwhile…)
If anyone is familiar with both charts and this tune, can you help me assemble the pieces into a beginning, middle, and end, with a name like “ABAC”? The way Grusin has arranged it, I can’t distinguish intro from top from bridge from coda.
Here are the sections:
Em7 B7 Em7 A7
Dm A7 Dm G7
Em7-5 A7 Ab7 G7
C Bm7-5/E7 Am/Ab7 Gm/C7
followed by
F#m7-5 -/- B7 -/-
E- E-/D Cmaj7 G/B
Asus A7 Dsus D7
Gmaj -/- F#m7-5 B7
from here it either goes back to the
section starting w/ Em7, or it goes on
as follows:
C/E G/D C# C-7/F7
Bm7 G7 Cmaj F#7
Bm7 Bb7 A- D7
G -/- -/- -/-
Then it goes back to the F#m7-5 section, or ends here. I think the order’s different on the second pass through, on the Grusin album.
(Sorry about the wacky colors; php was the only way I could figure out that preserved the spacing.)
So, maybe by numbering the above sections A-B-C – if that’s what they are – could someone give me a basic form?
