Hey Rosetta! - Psalm

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADZ6UY0H1KM

In the key of D major

It's basically just the same sequence over and over again, 3 chords, pause, 5 chords, pause. Timing is a little strange, the pause is 2 beats, 3, 2, 3, 3, 3, 2, 3, 2...
Here are the right hand chords-

But often it happens you know
Bm A D/F# pause 2 beats
That the things you don't trust are the ones you need most
Bm A G/B D/A A pause 3 beats
So it's cautiously into the dark
Bm A D/F# pause 3 beats
And you see before long that your eyes will adjust
Bm A G/B D/A A pause 3 beats
And under the night you can hear
Bm A D/F# pause 2 beats
The full moon rise like a psalm in the air
Bm A G/B D/F#
A pause 3 beats (D/F# and A on upper register)
And the air goes
G G/B
Into your lungs
Bm A D/F# pause 2 beats
And around in your heart and on through your blood
Bm A G/B D/A A pause 3 beats
It goes cautiously into the dark
Bm A D/F# 3
And you see before long that we all have a part
Bm A G/B D/A A pause 3 beats
And under your skin you can feel
Bm A D/F# pause 2 beats
That the fear that you feel is what will set you free
Bm A G/B D/A A pause 3 beats
Set you free
G G/B

Here are the melody notes for the horn:

DEF#
F#EGF#E
EEF#F#GAA
(low)ABC#C#DEEF#GGABAGF#E
EF#GAAGF#F#
AGGAF#F#GE
F#D
play these in the right hand with corresponding chords in the left hand on the beats.

And under the night you can hear
Bm A D/F# pause 2 beats
The full moon rise like a psalm in the air
Bm A G/B D/A A pause 3 beats
And the air goes
G G/B
into your lungs

Bm A D/F#

I hope this is mostly correct. Also I think technically notation like "D/F#" is supposed to mean you play F# in the bass on the left hand but I am only using it to say make F# the bass in the right hand. The left hand should still be playing D.

For the left hand it's just single notes (or octaves): B-A-D, then B-A-G-D-A (and G for the "air...goes..." part. During the 2-3 beat pauses, keep the beat up lightly in the left hand- so B-A-D-D-D, B-A-G-D-A-A-A-A, etc...you can mix it up and throw in some right hand chords during those pauses too, Tim does.
