Does anyone have some cool changes for this tune?


Finally, I have found a cool signature with sufficiently dry humor.

Is this what you are looking for:


C#m A B7 E C#m
Somewhere beyond the sea,

A B7 E G#7 C#m
Somewhere waiting for me,

B7 E C#m A C#7 F#m
My lover stands on golden sands

B7 Cdim C#m A F#7 B7
And watches the ships that go sail - ing.


E C#m A B7 E C#m
Somewhere beyond the sea,

A B7 E G#7 C#m
She's there, watching for me.

B7 E C#m A C#7 F#m
If I could fly like birds on high,

B7 Cdim C#m A B7 E E7
Then straight to her arms I'd go sail - ing.


Bridge:

A F#m7 Dm6 E7 AM7 F#m7
It's far, beyond a star,

D6 E7 A AM7 F#m7 G7
It's near, beyond the moon;

C Am7 F G7 C Am7
I know beyond a doubt

F G7 Gdim Cdim B7
My heart will lead me there soon.


E C#m A B7 E C#m
We'll meet beyond the shore,

A B7 E G#7 C#m
We'll kiss, just as before;

B7 E C#m A C#7 F#m
Happy we'll be, beyond the sea,

B7 Cdim C#m A F#7 - B7 E
And never a - gain I'll go sail - ing.

I'd rather Bnatural.
If called C# after C I'd be chromatic and I already have enough big words to describe my condition without getting Chromiumitis.

Wow, I've never heard that one in minor mode.

The classic Bobby Darin is based on Rhythm Changes.

|F Dm|Gm7 C7|Am Dm|Gm7 C7|Am - |Bb C7| etc. Notes prolly got 'em right if I know Bob...

And it SWINGS.

I uploaded a version of "Beyond the Sea" based on the Darin recording to the Yahoo "Band-in-a-Box" group awhile back, if you want to download it...

Have I told you how much I like your tag line:
""You play pretty good--for a girl."

Always makes me smile.

I play with a group of bandmates and we have a lady bass player. I can't tell you how many times folks comments to me after a gig, "Oh, I see you have a girl bass player". I am never quite sure how to respond other then, "You see right".

What's with people? Don't they know women can excel at anything they put there mind to!

Jazzmandan:

LOL! Yeah, that's what I've been hearing since I was 15-16... Given the fact that I've played with a few folks like Lou Rawls, Benny Goodman, Lionel Hampton, etc., I still find it funny that when somebody asks "what I play", and I say "guitar", they say, "How nice..." (And you can tell they're thinking "Kumbaya" on a flat-top/steel-string...) :-)

The time is around 1985. We have a job and our drummer did not show. In the audience is one of my guitar student’s father and he said he had a daughter who could play drums. So I said, “go get her”. She was just 16 but she played one hell of a set of traps. We hired her that night. She played with us for the next 10 years.

We ALWAYS got the “Wow, she plays pretty good—for a girl”! I would say, “what does that mean”? The answer was always err, ah, well she’s NOT a guy!

I must confess that in my 47 years of playing guitar she was the best drummer I have ever had! Not fancy, not flashy but steady and every fill she played always fit.

Thanx Lady Jazzer for bringing back very fond memories.

Suddenly I realized how many proctologists are on the road.
