St. Thomas

originally by Sonny Rollins
transcribed by Adam Hart acousticjambreak@hotmail.com

This is an old jazz standards song which cheese has adapted.
To me it sounds very light and tropical and happy like I
should be applying coco butter and dragging my boogie
board past the palm trees, down to the surf.

I think the timing might be a half step off in one or two
places.  Find a recording and check it out.
