Painter

performed by Norah Jones on  "Come Away With Me"
composed by Lee Alexander/J.C. Hopkins

transcribed by Michael Blake (All his own work.)




The song is in the form  AABA AABA with a piano solo
on the third and fourth A sections. The finger picking
is improvised.  I tabbed it out from the first verse
as an example, but it's played slightly different each
verse.
