I'm a beginner with a 20 button anglo Stagi C/G. I'm looking for Lili Marlene. Can some one post it and let me know, or just email it to me. Thanks!

Here it is in C, in "abc" format:

T:Lili Marlene

M:4/4

L:1/8

K:C

E>E E>F G2 E2 | F>F F>c B4 | D>D D>E F2 F>G | B>A G>F E3 C |

A2 B>c B2 A2 | A2 G2 B3 A | G2 F2 A3 G | F2 E2 G3 E | G3 F F2 d2 |

c4 G2 E2 | G3 F F2 B,2 | C6 E2 | G3 F F2 B,2 | C6 |]

 

Copy everything between the blank lines above and paste it into the window at the concertina.net "Tune-O-Tron" Tunes Convertor at:

Hit "Submit" and see the music in GIF format on screen. Hit "MIDI" and hear it, hit "PDF" and get a graphic file of the music notation suitable for high resolution printing.

It'll sound good on a Stagi. Anne and I have been doing this song for years - her singing and me accompanying. I always use the Herrington if I can, because the accordion reed sound gets the atmosphere and period of the tune better.

Here is another option for you, which I downloaded in Tabledit (.tef) format and printed in .pdf from http://www.consult-eco.ndirect.co.uk/guitar/tab.htm

As noted on the printout, this was transcribed by a guitarist named Steve McWilliams.

 

The van Basco midi search site at:

 

http://www.vanbasco.com/search.html

 

lists almost 20 versions. If you clicked on some of these and found a version you liked better, I could print it in notation for you, assuming it was not protected from downloading.

I always wonder why nobody of the big players here offers a recording of his playing to the newbie.

 

Iam ready to offer you my performance, which might help you to play it soon better than me.

¡Always hjomepages anmd Tune-O-Trone, no human touche ! Grum,ble !!
