When You Wore A Tulip and I Wore a Big Red Rose
Words by Jack Mahoney, Music by Percy Wenrich
Singular arrangement by John Fahey

Transcribed by Tom Reed; Tom_Reed@acm.org

On the Album "After the Ball: John Fahey and His Orchestra."
He plays this with his typically enthusiastic style and bell-like tone; I especially
like the section in 'F.' No orchestra is required either. There are a few measures
where the bass pattern diverges from straight alternation by quarter notes; I have
notated the quarter note beats with '+' signs to clarify things, since few if any
readers will have a recording of this to go by. Also note the use of leading tones
on the last upbeat prior to a chord change. I have also noted the chord changes,
but not all of them within the measure.
