Sorry, no

In the morning
They say I’ll die
In the evening
They say I’ll die
But if I ain’t dead already
Then Covid won’t be the reason why

They say that it’s in the sky
They say that it’s in the earth
But things look better in Australia
So maybe I’ll move to Perth

Used to be worried
Don’t want to die
But if I ain’t dead already
This virus won’t be the reason why

The eagle decides to fly
And the worm is on the phone
He feels so suicidal
Because they said we should just stay at home

It’s easy to be lonely
When they say that we’ll all die
But if we ain’t all dead already
We might as well all just eat some apple pie

(Sorry Persist… Couldn’t help it…)

I found a respectably good midi for this. I need to edit it to correct for the 5/8 measure. I should have it ready for posting by some time Monday at the latest.

[Phil_Flood]

Actually, I was mistaken about the 5/8 measures, it’s really 6/8, so the midi was good to go. I’ll be posting it to the Forum shortly.

[Mike_OC]

Thanks.

[Phil_Flood]

Done.

Yer Blues (OPB) - The Beatles

Uses my new go-to kit, the Steinway with Bass C2-60, although this is just drums and bass. I may make a later version with keys, for me. I had to make several compromises to convert this midi to BB. In the original, the song changes time signatures multiple times, from 12/8 to 6/8, then 8/8, back to 12/8, each verse. The jam section is in 4/4. Then it goes back to 12/8, 6/8, 8/8. As we all know, BB does not change time signatures. So after the first “If I ain’t dead already,” you will no lon…

I like it. 2 miniscule recommended edits. Lose the word “then” before Covid at the end of V1. Likewise, lose “this” before “virus” in the Used to be worried verse. It’ll flow better with the original music that way.
