Cross post from UP forum- notes for Jethro Tull Cheerio

A friend of mine has his going away lunch tomorrow. He’d like me to play Cheerio (Jethro Tull). Anyone have the dots? I listened to the tune at lunch; probably could learn it by ear, but am taking the easy way out.

Thanks in advance

I found this version much easier to understand:

Talk about playing the dots … That looks more like “Little Stack of Oats” to me. Or maybe a hypermodern serial tune.
