Re: Help with Come Back to Sorrento please.
I learned this for a wedding eons ago. Then had to relearn it for an Italian restaurant gig around ten years ago. Then revisited it during a subsequent solo gig. I ended up translating it into the Nashville number system. You can see a bit of that here, for the first line. I should have that somewhere in my files. If I find it, I'll post it.
This guitar tab may not translate very well here. But if you copy and paste it into a Wordpad or Word document, using Courier font, things should return to order. If you play guitar, or a friend does, the tab might be useful. Otherwaise, not so much. What I did was write out the notes' names, and dumped the tab. I included the tab here only in case it helps. Maybe all you need is the letters. I have it Em; familiarity with the corresponding G scale was probably why.
