"La Mer" or "Beyond the Sea"

steteak

Does any one have an arrangement and melody for the song "La Mer" (Beyond the Sea)?

I have a transcription of Bireli Lagrene's version of the basic melody, which I use as a reference guide if I forget a small part or something. I've also transcribed Django's solo on "La Mer" from the 1949 Rome sessions if you need that as well (such a beautiful solo as well I might add). I have the transcriptions available in both Powertab and PDF, so if your interested just let me know what format you want and I'll post them. 8)

Here's a lead sheet in the key of F - I think that is what you were looking for.

Thank you Shawn, PDF. I have "Sidewinder" and "Splanky" chord charts to trade. My Professor in Jazz is accommodating me by incorporating "La Mer." With your help, I will be able to expose others to the sound. Thank you. I wish I had more to offer, but as of yet, I have not acquired many charts.

Thank you Klaatu, it will help nicely. I just printed, and noticed that it has chords and main melody. It is a great copy and will work for training.

Stuart, the link is great. Thank you.
