this is the theme (complete first chorus) for one solo guitar. The usual leadsheets tell you about chords, melody and bassline. Bass is moving nicely along with the melody here. This is not only a jazz standard chord/melody arranged for some guitar voicings, but transcribed note for note from the original piano trio recording, as played by the composer himself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0FIsFD9MXU So here you can learn how the theme can be played on one guitar and sound closest to Bill Evans. You will discover more little melodies hidden inside the chords. Maybe you get a deeper understanding of how the song was meant to be. (That was the reason I transcribed it for me to practice.) It is written out as I play it on guitar, I did it by ear, it is not related to any piano sheet music that might be out there. The beginning is pretty simple, it gets more difficult along the way, and the end is very hard (close to impossible) to play, I'm still working on it :) You may want to simplify that last part, but I left the transcription as it is, so everybody can decide for him/herself.

Waltz For Debby (Take 1) - Bill Evans
In her own sweet world
Populated by dolls and clowns
And a prince and a big purple bear
Lives my favorite girl.
Unaware of the worried frowns
That we weary grown-ups all wear.
In the sun she dances
To silent music-songs
That are spun of gold
Somewhere in her own little head
Then one day all too soon
She'll grow up & she'll leave her doll
And her prince & her silly old bear.
When she goes they will cry
As they whisper good-bye
They will miss her I know
but then so will I.
Earrings made of shoestrings
Barbie dolls with blue jeans
Makin' cross eyes
Shakes me when I'm sleepin'
Did you ever see
A kitten with an apron on
Stop 'n start his stereo
When she knows her brothers down the hall runnin' 'round and skippin' 'round
Because she's so,
She's so inspired
Then she's tired
Please put me jammies on
Daddy look at the rain
Can I go and play in the rain
In the sun she dances
To silent music-songs
That are spun of gold
Somewhere in her own little head
Then one day all too soon
She'll grow up & she'll leave her doll
And her prince & her silly old bear
When she goes they will cry
As they whisper good-bye
They will miss her I know
But then so will I.
