Hi all,

I have just posted a piano version of Goldfinger if you want to have a look:



Thanks'

Very good playing, though a few suggestions -

- I find the song generally sounds best in F major, which is the key it's heard in John Barry's score.

For this, the chords would be:


Gold - finger
F -----> DbMaj7

He's the man, the man with the Midas touch
Cm ---> F -------> Bb -------------------> E7

A spider's touch
------------> C

Such a cold finger
--------> F --> DbMaj7

Beckons you to enter his web of sin
Cm ----> F ----> Bb --------------> E7

But don't go in
---------------> Am > F/A - Am6wo/5 (Bond theme vamp)


Golden words he will pour in your ear
--------> G ----------> Am ---------> Bm

But his lies can't disguise what you fear
-------> Em -----> Em9 --------------> Bm

For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
-----> E7 ------> Cm/Maj7 --------------------

It's the kiss of death ...
C7b5 ------------------

Repeat verse chords until this bit -


This heart is cold
--------------> Am > Am/F > Am > F/A - Am6wo/5

He loves only gold
---------------> Am > F/A - Am6wo/5

Only gold
----> Am > F/A - Am6wo/5

etc.

He loves gold
---------> Am6/9


- The wah, waah waah bit should be a major third, not a minor third, creating an augmented 5th dissonance with the Db major 7th.

Thanks for the comment, I did change the key as it did fit me better this way'

No problem. I recommend transposing all of the chords above up a whole step and see it how it sounds (i.e. DbMaj7 -> EbMaj7).

Very nice, Mozarta. I also enjoyed your take on the OHMSS theme. Do you think you'll do any more Bond themes? I'd love to hear a nice piano interpretation of "A View to a Kill".

[mozarta]

Thanks a lot, the only other theme I currently have is on your majesty's service made a few years ago on a different piano (not as good as my new one) but you'll recognize the theme at least:
