This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

This is an interpretation of the song " It Couldn't

Be Anne" by Circus Monkey and it is a creation of my own work.

Although Circus Monkey is actually a fictitious band, this is

an incredible song. The fictional band is the brainchild of

songwriter Greg Kendall who writes four songs for the band,

a fabulous song for another band named Tacklebox, and two

other good sounding scores. All these are included on the

soundtrack and in the movie "Bandwagon". Bandwagon is my

favorite movie and as i said has great music but it is

virtually unheard of. It was a Sundance Film Festival

presentation and has never gotten much attention. My

favorite band is the "Connells" who are also extremely

underrated and through loving their music is how i stumbled

upon Bandwagon. Ex-drummer John Schultz became a Hollywood

director and thus asked longtime Connells lead singer Doug

Macmillan to star in the film. Because of its independent

style release... this movie and soundtrack are hard to find

and expensive as well. I regret that not many people will

hear this wonderful music or see a darn good and funny movie.

*** the mainstream!!! If you like music you will love this

movie especially if you play an instrument yourself. If you

have any questions or would like this song emailed to you

... email me.

Finally a movie about a band!
