Can anyone find (in a publication or on the internet), or does anyone have, the sheet music for the Pretenders' 'If There Was a Man'?

I cannot find it anywhere on the internet and I have not seen any publication that includes this. Rather strange since all the other end-title songs are published (not 'Where Has Everybody Gone?' though). Is TLD's score being shunned along with the DVD and video being out-of-stock?

If anyone could at least give me a hint to some of the basic note, that would be nice also.

There is a possiblity of obtaining a copy of sheet music for this song.

At This website, you can create an account, search for sheet music for a particular song or artist, request it through e-mail and the holder may send you a copy. It doesn't guarantee they'll send it to you, but it's worth a try. :cooltongue:

Hate to play the stupid policmen here, but pianofiles is one big haven of intellectual property theft. If you're going to link to it, I suggest doing so through private messaging.

Yeah, that's clearly file sharing/trading... definitely needs to be kept to PMs.

In any case, it looks like someone over there DOES have 'The Living Daylights Suite'... I'll wait until I can find it legally somehow. I've really only been able to find sheet music for the theme songs (with the exception of 'Another Way to Die' not existing in a printed form) most of which are in a collection that was released not too long after TWINE.

Did this myself.

Intro:
Eb - Cm - Eb - Cm

Verse 1:

If there was a man I could dream of,
Eb ------------ Cm ---------- Eb ---- Cm

I'd dream about a dream come true.
Eb ------------ Cm ---------- Fm ------ Bbm

If there was a man I could ever love,
Eb ------------ Cm ---------- Eb ---- Cm

I'd wait a million years for someone just like you.
Eb ------------ Cm ---------- Fm ------ Bbm

Chorus:

All my life I've been belated.
Gm ------------ Cm ----------

Never taking any chances...always hesitating.
Fm ------------------------------ Bb7

Where's the payoff? Where's the glory?
Gm --------------------- Cm ----------

Where's the one I'm holding out for?
Fm ---------------------------------------

When's he walking through the door,
Bb7 ---------------------------------------

The one that you walked through...if it isn`t you?
Eb ------------- Cm -------- Fm -------- Bb7

Eb - Cm - Eb - Cm

and etc.
