Walked down by the bathing pond to try and get some sun. Saw at least a hundred school girls sobbing into handkercheifs as one. I don't believe they knew I was a school boy. And the bearded lady said to me If you start your raving and your misbehaving you'll be sorry. And the chicken fancier came to play with his long red beard and his sisters weird she drives a lorry. Laughed down by the putting green I popped them in their holes. Four and twenty laborers were laboring and digging up their gold. I don't believe knew that I was Long John Silver. Saw Johnny Scarecrow make his rounds in his jet black mac which he won't give back stole it from a snowman. As I did walk by Hampstead Fair I came upon Mother Goose so I turned her loose she was screaming. Walked down by the bathing pond to try and catch some sun. Must have been at least a hundred school girls sobbing into handkercheifs as one. I don't believe they knew I was a school boy. ======================================================================== ======================================================================== Transcription: .=lead-in begin ;=section begin :=section end ,=measure separator (bar line) {=comment/note begin }=comment/note end [=section name begin ]=section name end ?=Fermata Chords: A-G=chord name 2,3,4,5,6,7,9,11,13=note number add=add aug=augmented dim=diminished b=flat #=sharp m=minor maj=major M=major @$%^&*=token for a chord name a-z=more tokens for chord name a-z=more note symbols '=2nd voicing ''=3rd voicing Licks: Ln=lick definition (n=1-9) h=hammer on p=pull off q=rasqueado r=bend and release s=slide t=trill v=bend x=rake Usage: o '.' lead-in to a section o ';' or ':' can substitue for ',' o only chord name, token, lick, or '{}' can lie between ',' or ';' or ':' o anything between '{}' is either a note reference or is user defined o ' '=one beat in [4/4] or [3/4] time; (four spaces) o 'actual' transcription o 'footnote' transcription o 'combination' transcription o 'implied' transcription ========================================================================
