For Bassist and Piano/Strings players who don't really know what to do about music
written for guitar in a capo,
or for multiple guitar arrangements.

Standard Tuning
Top line is the bass line,
the lower line is the chord line
(Minors, etc. Bass can't really distinguish them unless you are playing a really good riff)
This is in original key of what I think is A-flat-maj, rather then the G-maj
version for guitar on Capo 1.
If you are searching for a simple guitar version, follow the link above.

Note: An acoustic guitar version of an orchestrated score is difficult and open to
different interpretations. Feedback welcome.
Please post any corrections.
You'll notice in the chorus that I ignore the posted bass notes and use the root
note, because it sounds more correct, it's up to you.
