Transcribed by Gavin Chart (contactus@gartfrets.net) NOTES: Recorded and released for the film "Breakfast At Tiffany's". Henry Mancini wrote this song especially for Audrey Hepburn and has said that her version is still the best. A gorgeous, gorgeous song... Timing is 3/4. The instrumental intro on the original soundtrack seems to be in F, which modulates to D for the vocal part. So, capo on 2 if you want to play along with the vocal part. Blame Henry for messing us about!
