Like my earlier vid (Firth of Fifth intro), I first worked this out by ear when I was around 14 or 15 and it's kind of become my 'party-piece' over the years.

This one's had a few more tweaks over the intervening decades compared with FoF, but I still look back with fondness to a time when this was all new to me. I still have my original dots in an old manuscript book!!

I'd started working out Beatles numbers when I was around 10 and moved on to Elton John a year or two later. I finally progressed (pun intended) to Genesis and have never looked back! :)

Although a fair amount of it is what Tony plays on the track, it's definitely NOT meant to be an exact transcription.

Rather, it's my way of playing it in such a way that some of the vocal line and feel (particularly in the chorus) comes thru.

I guess the most interesting bit is the middle instrumental section.
I think this is pretty accurate but there's a caveat:
Bars 88-89. These are how I play them and they also made the score a lot easier to do.
They are a little different to the original, but to be honest, I felt that trying to write exactly what is played by Tony would have made the score overly complex.
Also, the left hand 'runs' from there onwards are a slight compromise to make the score easier to read.
But, as long as you play the notes pretty much in sync with what the right hand is doing, it'll be fine.
I know that I don't play it exactly as it's written when I perform this piece, so why should you? :)
And I've added a couple of bass notes to give it more heft.

Bars 75-82: Having looked at them again, I'd be inclined to re-write the first 3 of each group of 4 bars in the same way as the 4th. i.e. as a crotchet & a quaver with no middle note in the left hand (it's already played by the right). The PDF contains this change.

In the end though, I don't even play it exactly as written!!
I tend to add a little more 'rhythm' and I sometimes add extra notes and all sorts of little embellishments.
I've posted it as a template for anyone who wants to learn the basic(!) notes as a starting point for their own interpretation.

Finally, although I've messed around with the tempo in places so as to try to give it a feel of how I play it live, it's still a machine playing it back, so please don't comment on it not having any 'feel'; it's the score that's important :)

Just have fun with it! :)

It's scored and played back using Sibelius 7.5 with 4Front's TruePianos (Emerald) plug-in.
