Song+Notes

This page is to make a list of songs and the note sequence to play them. Please add to this list if/when you find your own songs!

//*note: most versions below are based on a C major instrument that can play all the "white keys" on the piano. some songs have notes that would have to be fudged or skipped. Many are from memory so expect mistakes or "alternative interpretations"// G C E C E / D C A G / G C E C E D [G] / E [G] E [G] E C / G A C C A G / G C E C E D ( [] = higher than the regular one) This is a searchable [|database of Classical Music]

 * over the rainbow
 * c, c(high), b g a b c, c a g; c f e c d e f, d b(low) c d e c.
 * [Note the only problematic notes are the high C (which should be on a good pan pipe) and the low b (which is just below the lower C and most C panpipes won't have]
 * in the jungle
 * melody: c d e d, e f e d c, d e d c e d; g e d e, g f e d c, d e d c e d...
 * weemaweh part: two or three notes at a time, listen for the rhythm; one bar of C major (C, E, and optional G), one bar of F major (F, A, and optional C), another bar of C major, and one of G major (G, B with optional D)

 * I like to finish with a grand finale, G7 C: gbdf, cegc (if you're doing palm pipes, have them hit the pipes as fast as they can while you conduct the chords).
 * a more churchy "amen" sound at the end would be F6 C: facd cegc.
 * you could add this ending to any song in the key of C...
 * mission impossible
 * can't do with a simple major scale instrument
 * e e g a, e e d d#; repeat as you like.

 * smoke on the water
 * can't do with a simple major scale instrument
 * e g a, e g a# a, e g a, g e....
 * note the a# kinda messes it up for major keys but is key to the riff.
 * come as you are
 * bass line: e g e g e e d# d a d d, a d d# e g e g e e d# d a d d... repeat. You'll have to fudge or skip the d# but it's kinda critical for the coolness of the line.
 * melody more or less: e, g a e, g a e, g a b, a g e... repeat.
