Chord transcription by Mikayel Abazyan mikayelabazyan@yahoo.com
Playing tips
The chords accompanying the main theme are rather key notes. I placed Capital letters
to identify the "key" key notes, and small letters to show how the melody goes. Yeah,
I am amateur. And sorry for currently not being able to identify the ending sax+organ
sequence. The only thing I can say is that it ends up in E key. The rest can be probably
picked out of the original recording, to which I would like you to refer in any way.
