Peter...this is outstanding work! You have an amazing set of ears! Indeed, this is unquestionably 5 star material!I submitted a version with more iPad friendly formatting (limited scrolling to aid live performance) and some very minor corrections (the Db7+11 only occurs before the "I've just one wish" lines -- the other times it's a G7/D). Thanks for such a fantastic contribution!
