    Default Bond themes

    In memoriam John Barry Prendergast. I'll add more as I have time to figure them out.

    Goldfinger, From Russia and Nobody Does are hereabouts already. Dr No is just an Em CESH vamp (up and down from the 5th in semitones) with B7s at the back end of the bridge, so doesn't really need a chart.

    Had to take some liberties with rhythms (generally preferred to put the chord on the beat following the anticipation, or occasionally where visually clearest). And the odd bar break in LALD should be 3/8, but iRB can't handle that (doesn't really need to, to be honest).

    Enjoy and let me know if you have tweaks to suggest,

    Mr Kiss Kiss Bang Bang by Bricusse-Barry

    View to a Kill by Duran-Barry

    Another Way to Die by White-Arnold

    Not _at_all_ one of my favourites (IMO almost as inappropriate and forgettable as Die Another Day), but someone asked me about it the other day. What's to say about four power chords over a heavy hollowed-out Amen break... Still, some people seem to love it.

    What is interesting is that the basic chord structure is a straight rip from Cornell's You Know My Name. That was:
    Bm G E

    This is:
    B G E

    Which is thematically appropriate, since the film Quantum of Bollocks, sorry, Solace was a direct follow-on sequel from Casino Royale. So, some thought involved!

    PS If anyone's interested, Die Another Day is all of:
    | Cm | Ab Bb |
