This slower paced version really brings out the pathos in these lyrics.

Thanks Berni. Yea Slower tempo does change the feel to more match the lyrics I agree.

Thank you kindly mate. I’ve done this on guitar and on baritone uke before. But I like this tenor version most which is not the outcome I would have expected. Something about really being able to whack the smaller instrument felt right in the zone.

One of my favorite songs of all time, and man, you nailed it - just great! You kept the brilliance of the original and added your own on top of it. Wow. (If you have a tab, I'd love to see it.) I heard Jimmy Webb say that "I need you more than want you and I want you for all time" might have been the best line he ever wrote.
