My new years resolution this year was learning how to play just one song on a musical instrument. I chose the accordion. The first thing Alex did to help me on this path was to make tabs for my right hand only. I posted those tabs, viewable here.
We have since figured out the bass and treble portion of the song too, and it is much lovelier sounding. Its a lot closer to the real thing, if you ask me.

As far as I can tell, I invented this way to write tabs, so please bare with me if you do not understand. I had to put it in as a photo because I could not format it correct with just the rich text.
La Valse D'Amelie (Same as above)
Lets go through this segment by segment
line zero is only played once and only uses keys on the right hand.
Line A looks like this .
C7 G7 C6 C5

The keys played with the right hand are C7, G7, C6, and C5. The left hand plays 4R, 3R, 3R, repeat during the segment. This segment is a pull segment. The dashes and spacing are all meant to give you an idea of when to play each note. The first note, C7, for instance, is longer than G7. You go 4R, 3R, 3R once while holding down C7. for the left hand, 4r represents the the right row when looking at the accordion head on, 4th key from top.
Row E is the same except it has parenthesis. I put those in so you can know which keys correspond to the same 4R, 3R, 3R segments.
The section at the very bottom tells you what order to play the lines to make the whole song. So you play ABCD twice, then EEFF twice and repeat to make the whole song. Sorry I didn't just put down the lines in the order of the song already, I just didn't want any repeat lines in my instruction while I was learning how to do each one.
Let me know if you will attempt this and I will try to post a video of me playing it!
