Not sure if this is the right subforum but I am trying to enter the chords in BIAB for the above song to create a backing track that I can play my guitar along to.

For anyone not familiar with the song, here's a link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GFZYgIkJ7Q

I have tried using the Audio Chord Wizard but the resulting chords are not even close (that may be due to me not knowing how to use it to it's best). Anyway I thought I would next try to enter the chords manually but they are not obvious especially the first few bars before the guitar comes in and I cannot find any sheet music for it.

So I was wondering if anyone knows the chords to this beautiful song or can point me to a BIAB version that has already been done?

Many thanks in advance,
Rec

Many thanks LtKojak (love the name),

I will give this a try asap.

EDIT: Tried these chords and they sound pretty good to me so thanks again.
Now I just need to find a style that works well (too many to choose from!)

Thanks again,
Rec

No prob, man.

After all, I play this song live, so I know it by heart.

I can offer you a midi file of this song, should the case arise you might need it.

Also, you can legally and freely download an excellent guitar-less backing track at the following address:

Hey thanks man,

Funnily enough I learned it a long time ago but haven't played it for so long I am having to re learn it. A long while ago someone lent me the room 335 album on vinyl and I played it endlessly but It Was Only Yesterday was the only track at the time that I had a hope of playing. I had an Aria 335 copy then which sounded pretty close to Larry's sound at least to my ears, lol. Always wondered what the correct fingering was for that solo bit near the end (triplets I think). I was watching to see how Jess plays it at around 3 min 10 seconds.

I would like to hear your version.

Would be interested in the midi file too and thanks re the backing track which I have now downloaded. Strange I watched the Jess Lewis version the other day but didn't know they had a free backing track available.

Thanks again for all your help,
Rec
