I've tried several apps like Shazam with no luck. It's a common tune.

(Am) EBCA

(E7) EBCD

(Am7) EBCA BCA

(Am6) BCE

(Dm) AEFD

(A7) AEFG

etc.

Many thanks for any help.

Yes, I recognize the melody. Its similar to "Summer Wind", but I don't think thats it.

No, it's not summer wind - it's in minor, with a haunting melody. I recorded myself playing what I can remember, but it's only partial, and I want to learn the whole thing. I can't find a way of attaching an audio file here to post it. But thanks for the suggestion.

Yeah, I didn't think it was Summer Wind, although the opening is similar.

I do recognize the tune, I can even hear a version I have heard many times before played by trumpet in my head, but I cannot place the title or where I heard the tune, but it is well known.
