"All I Have To Do Is Dream" - Melody & Harmony

Sorry for the delay in posting this one. I had it written out months ago but forgot to post it until today. This tune has a great parallel harmony throughout most of the song, which is very typical of the Everlys.

There are a few phrases that were difficult for me to decipher, due to the brothers' incredible blend, and also the fact they sometimes will slide between the notes - like on the "you" in the phrase "Whenever I want you". They slide into the second note.

Again, I did my best to notate the actual notes being sung in the recording. If you find anything that needs correcting, please leave a comment and let me know.

This PDF is not the complete song as some sections are repeated. If you need the whole song form, and the rest of the lyrics, please refer to the Chords & Lyrics post.

"'Til I Kissed You" - Melody & Harmony

Here is the melody and harmony part to "'Til I Kissed You". I spent quite a bit of time on this one because certain parts were difficult for me to decipher. I think I got it right, but if anyone finds anything they believe to be incorrect, please leave me a comment.

Like some of their other tunes, the rhythm here is not meant to be followed precisely as the Everlys tend to lay behind the beat sometimes, etc. If you listen to the recording, you'll understand what I mean. Also the 8th-notes are swung on this tune and unfortunately I don't have a way to indicate that in the notation software I'm using. Please don't attempt to sing this with straight 8ths - you will sound like a robot. :)

"Cathy's Clown" - Melody & Harmony

Sorry for the multi-month delay in posting. The summer in Chicago has been amazing so I forced myself to limit my time in front of the computer. I also was just having a really hard time trying to nail down the harmony for "Cathy's Clown" and wanted some time to sit on it. There's only harmony on the chorus, and it's not very complicated, but I was having a very hard time deciphering the exact harmony notes. So, while I believe this to be pretty accurate I'm not 100% sure with this one. If you have any suggestions for corrections please leave a comment.

Also, the brothers tend to slide into a lot of the notes in this song, so listen for that in the recording. They also sometimes lay behind the beat, especially on the verse, which I didn't really indicate in the sheet music. This sheet doesn't have the full form of the song, as the chorus is the same each time. If you want the full form of the song, check out the Chords & Lyrics page.

So Sad (To Watch Good Love Go Bad) - Melody & Harmony

Here is the melody and harmony part for "So Sad (To Watch Good Love Go Bad)". I believe this is accurate, but if you come across any errors, please let me know. I originally started this one a couple weeks ago and put it aside after getting stumped by some of the harmony notes. I think I'm starting to get a better feel for this because when I took a second shot at it, the process seemed much easier.

I think what made this one more challenging is that there is a mix of parallel harmony and also harmony where one part stays on a single note while the other changes (don't know the term for this).

This song also has a very interesting rhythm to the vocal lines. Many of the syllables are on the off-beats which creates an overall "behind-the-beat feel" to the whole thing. This did make it a little tricky to notate, and I tried to indicate what they did on the recording as best as I could.

Finally, this is just meant to show the melody and harmony parts and doesn't outline the whole form of the song. Please refer to the Chords and Lyrics sheet for the whole song form.

Enjoy!

"When Will I Be Loved" - Melody & Harmony

This song was a lot easier to decipher than "Love Hurts". There's a lot of repetition and most of the bridge doesn't even have a harmony part. I'm fairly sure this is accurate, though on the quick syllable "it" in the phrase "It happens every time" on the bridge, I am guessing that the harmony note just starts on the same note as the rest of the phrase, even though it's really difficult for me to hear.

NOTE: The eighth notes are swung on this song, and unfortunately the basic software I'm using to write these parts out doesn't have a way for me to indicate that. So PLEASE DO NOT SING THE EIGHTHS STRAIGHT. You'll sound like a robot. Also this sheet doesn't show the true form of the song, which repeats the bridge and last verse, and repeats the last line. The chords and lyrics sheet has the true form written down.

Again, if you find there are errors, please let me know. I don't claim that this is perfect - although I try my best to make them as accurate to the recording as possible. ENJOY!

"Love Hurts" - Melody & Harmony

So this is my first attempt at transcribing the vocal melody and harmony part. It took me a while and I listened through the song probably over a hundred times! Anyway, aside from a few notes where I really had a hard time hearing the harmony note, I believe it's accurate.

The few areas where I have my doubts:

• The "to" on "to take a lot of pain", the "I've" in "I've really learned a lot", and the "I" in "I know it isn't true". They are all the same note but I cannot pick out the harmony note in the recording. I basically guessed that it follows the melody (a major third above the melody note). If you can hear the note and it differs from what I wrote, please let me know.

• The only other area I'm slightly doubtful is the first few notes of the bridge. I really listened to this section over and over so I'm pretty sure it's right (even though there is a tri-tone interval on the word "fools").
