THE LUMBERJACK SONG

Does anyone know if concertina music is available for Monty Python's THE LUMBERJACK SONG?

I doubt there's anything already arranged.

 

Googling "Lumberjack chords" shows that most people think it's in the key of G, and that the chords go I-IV-V-I (G C D G). Halfway down the page is a slightly more sophisticated version, but the basic idea is the same.

Hi Tony

 

There is a MIDI version of the score on this page in G:

If you play it in this player, it will display the notes on screen, and you can print too. You can also isolate tracks to see only the melody. It's a nice utility to have, and it's free.

I was bored tonight so I imported the midi file, isolated the melody line, and transposed it from the bass up to the treble cleff. It's kind of messy -- the import added a ton of rests, I think because it's played staccato. lumbrjck.pdf

Hi Brian

 

There is an option in the program that will do that. It's accessed by clicking on "edit", then "add cleff". The cursor will change. Then click on the base cleff, and it will change to the G cleff. I'd suggest isolating the melody line first, and then working on that alone. It will be easier to change, since you might have do do a few of them. It makes it a little easier to play the notes on the screen. Crude and cheap works for me.

 

What program did you import it to? Looks good.

 

Thanks

I used Musescore, an open source score editor.
