A simple melody


Waked up to this chorus.


The lyrics heard on the dream were "Just an Illusion - Imagination". Nothing to do with the 80's master song.


In a four beat matrix it goes like this:


The key is C minor. So any B is B flat, any A is A flat, any E is E flat.


On the left is numbered bass, on the right melody.


C                   C   C   C   D
C                         C   C  
B6                 C   C   C   D
B6                       C   C
F(9)               F    F   F
G7                 E   D   C   C
C


Bach notation is used for the harmony defined by the numbed bass. For example B6 means B bass, a part or voice playing the 6th ie G another voice playing or singing the 3rd ie D. So Bb bass and Bb D G.
