Super nice, John! Love the Telecaster too, nicely chosen notes, very sweet!
Now going back a bit, since I've been MIA here for a couple days...
Thanks Christian, Frithjof, Gelsenbury, John, Martin, and Simon, for the kind words!

I've come to appreciate its usefulness, in small quantities. But I didn't think so when I was younger.

Yeah. When I was putting the IMSLP notes into my notation app, the first thing I did was swap out 6/8 for 3/4.
For users of the iReal Pro chord-chart and backing app:
FWIW, I made chord charts for this song (matches the notation I posted here earlier) and put them on the iReal Pro site, so those charts are now accessible via the app. There had previously been no entry at all for this song. Took me like forever to get the posting to work right though. With the sound settings I used (can be changed in the app), the iRealPro MIDI playback sounds like this - note that it always adds one extra measure at the end of each song:
Fortunately, playing/reading iReal Pro charts, is a lot easier than writing the darn things.
So, if you're using the iReal Pro app to access their forums to find new chord charts, just type "Song Of The Seashore" into the search box, then go to that page and then skip *past* the first 8 posts (the first eight posts are irrelevant/outdated - I was having problems posting, earlier), go to the 9th post which has the updated chord charts. You can download and modify/change them as you wish.
For those already comfortable with editing/writing iReal Pro charts, if you want to add your own chord charts for this song there, that would be cool. Everyone's chords here at Song-a-Week, for this tune, sound very nice, IMO. If you're willing to share your chords with the world, that could be helpful to a lot of people in the future trying to play this song. Always good to have plenty of options!
I think (?) the usual iReal Pro website's procedure is to append a new post onto an existing thread for a song. Although I could be wrong, since I'm a total newbie there - as the mod was quite happy to point out during my initial tries at posting there.
