No sheet music for the next song, since Cliff wrote it and he really seems to have had an extremely relaxed approach to publishing and copyright where his own compositions were concerned.
Bit of an experiment here: I've taken the chords from Chordify (no sheet music to work from, you see) and left them in the original key. That means you can play along with Cliff's performance, but it also means that they are slightly more complicated chords. The fact that they are mostly closed chords (no unfretted strings) does mean that it's possible to get that swinging, jazzy sound by slightly releasing the pressure after each strum, which is far harder to do with open chords. In that respect it's a lot closer to how Cliff played, but transposing to a different key is always an option if this looks a bit daunting. It's certainly going to take me a while.
@BigJackBrass Ooh. You cause me to realise that I could add an auto-transposer to my songbook page generator. (Then I generate 12 songbook pages and choose the one that seems easiest to play, I guess.)
