Una Rosa A Decimbre


Most of this selection can be notated with chord symbols,
 but there are sections, most notably in some of the
instrumental passages where some instruments are playing
many chromatic phrases and faintly in the mix
which would alter the chord definition at any given
moment, that would really be unrealistic to post. And as
with all the other Vannelli charts, I would recommend
playing along with the recording initially to detect
 many of these subtle nuances.


   Friends, if you feel you have a
better chord, note, passage, lyric--please feel
free to contact me at the Email address below,
and the necessary changes will be made! The
objective here and with all the Vannelli charts
I have submitted is to have posted an accurate
transcription of his music for all of us to enjoy.
I have attempted to chart this material as accurately
as possible, yet there remain passages that I'm still
not entirely comfortable with, and I strongly encourage
any outside input! Since I am a member of this site,
it is possible for me to edit any of these charts.


small case letters above chord symbols
indicate individual notes:
c4: middle C, and notes above in that octave...
c5: C above middle C
c3: C below middle C  etc.
numbers behind notes will only be indicated
when notes enter another octave or begin a new line
