In France they kiss on main street

I saw from a few years ago a link to a transcription for Joni Mitchell's In France They Kiss On Main Street, but I think the link is since dead. Does anyone know where I might find an active link?

Been watching the Shadows and Light video recently, and really do enjoy that first tune. Would like to see what someone who's spent more time with it thinks might be going on in there (sound on my TV is pretty marginal too, so that doesn't make it any easier).

Many thanks!

I just gave it a whirl, and here's what I came up with to start before my wife needed some curtain rods hung.

Just saw my sheet and saw that the first E in measure 4 should of course be a half note tied to the dotted eighth... what can I say, this was a quickie!

Many thanks for your help! Cool stuff.

You bet!

It'd be fun to add to it. It's a great tune. And a pretty fast tempo once you get into it. Have you worked through those first few measures, and does it sound OK so far?

The TBer that posted a transcription to "In France..." went by the handle cowsgomoo.
Very informative guy.

I searched...the link is dead.

Sometimes...when you stumble upon something good-
