Moon River – Andy Williams

Of the ten or so versions I looked at, this is the only one that was correct to the music played in Andy's version of the song. Even more complex versions don't sound right. I highly recommend this version. I transposed it to the key of G to suit my voice.

The trick is that the song is in 3/4 time

Andy Williams version would be capo one.
