Waltz For Debby

标题:Waltz for Debby

副标题:tabbed by michum :)

艺人:Bill Evans

作曲:Gene Lees

制谱人:michum

this is the theme (complete first chorus) for one solo guitar.

The usual leadsheets tell you about chords, melody and bassline. Bass is moving nicely along with the melody here.
This is not only a jazz standard chord/melody arranged for some guitar voicings, but transcribed note for note from the original piano trio recording, as played by the composer himself:

So here you can learn how the theme can be played on one guitar and sound closest to Bill Evans. You will discover more little melodies hidden inside the chords. Maybe you get a deeper understanding of how the song was meant to be. (That was the reason I transcribed it for me to practice.)
It is written out as I play it on guitar, I did it by ear, it is not related to any piano sheet music that might be out there.

The beginning is pretty simple, it gets more difficult along the way, and the end is very hard (close to impossible) to play, I'm still working on it :) You may want to simplify that last part, but I left the transcription as it is, so everybody can decide for him/herself.

Waltz  For  Debby  (Take  1)  -  Bill  Evans

In  her  own  sweet  world

Populated  by  dolls  and  clowns

And  a  prince  and  a  big  purple  bear

Lives  my  favorite  girl.

Unaware  of  the  worried  frowns

That  we  weary  grown-ups  all  wear.

In  the  sun  she  dances

To  silent  music-songs

That  are  spun  of  gold

Somewhere  in  her  own  little  head

Then  one  day  all  too  soon

She'll  grow  up  &  she'll  leave  her  doll

And  her  prince  &  her  silly  old  bear.

When  she  goes  they  will  cry

As  they  whisper  good-bye

They  will  miss  her  I  know

but  then  so  will  I.

Earrings  made  of  shoestrings

Barbie  dolls  with  blue  jeans

Makin'  cross  eyes

Shakes  me  when  I'm  sleepin'

Did  you  ever  see

A  kitten  with  an  apron  on

Stop  'n  start  his  stereo

When  she  knows  her  brothers  down  the  hall  runnin'  'round  and  skippin'  'round

Because  she's  so,

She's  so  inspired

Then  she's  tired

Please  put  me  jammies  on

Daddy  look  at  the  rain

Can  I  go  and  play  in  the  rain

In  the  sun  she  dances

To  silent  music-songs

That  are  spun  of  gold

Somewhere  in  her  own  little  head

Then  one  day  all  too  soon

She'll  grow  up  &  she'll  leave  her  doll

And  her  prince  &  her  silly  old  bear

When  she  goes  they  will  cry

As  they  whisper  good-bye

They  will  miss  her  I  know

But  then  so  will  I.
