Anyone know this beautiful song by Vangelis called Rachel's Song?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ja0L82_Gq7M

This song is special to me, because we listened to it numerous times while my wife was giving birth to our first daughter.

Now that I know somewhat how to play piano, I would love to learn to play this song. I tried to locate sheet music or even chords for it with Google with no luck.

Can anyone at least tell me the chords for this song? I would be really thankful!

try ordering the music from musicroom.com

Or listen to the song and try & work out the chords by ear.

Just having a quick listen I'd say the main melody is over G Minor, C Major and D minor but I'll try and be a bit more accurate when I can sit in front of a piano smile

It seems like the search in musicroom.com returns lots of Vangelis production but not Rachel's Song frown

Vangelis is great... and this is one of my favorite tracks of theirs (and it's from one of my favorite movies). I might try to figure this one out!

Not sure about "Rachel's Song," but the solo sheet for "Chariots of Fire" is more like a lead sheet than a true arrangement of the piece.

Publishers seem not too interested in his work, which is a shame. I've been a lifelong fan of his music and would like to learn more of it on the piano.

Musicroom had a book with a collection of some of his work, but it's a UK site (prices were in pounds). I'll check the US-based sites to see if that book is available west of 'the pond'...
