* Thanks to recent visitor (Chas) for the suggestion, and for the audio source from which to transcribe. Durante does a half-step-up key change at the end of each verse, which I've not included here. If you're so inclined, and would like an assist, refer to the Chords section to see how to transpose it from what I'm showing here.
