I started playing the ukulele because of this song. I googled all over for a satisfactory tab, but none of them seemed to be exactly right.

I pieced this tab together from the tabs I found and from watching a couple of videos on YouTube.

          
          "Tonight You Belong to Me" as played by
          Steve Martin and Bernadette Peters in "The Jerk".
          Tab by Andrew Otto
          
          Notes:
          
          While playing the bridge, he varies between Cm 
          and Gmaj7 by sliding the Cm bar down one fret 
          then back up.  When changing from G to E7, he does 
          a fancy walk down with the G chord.  The last two 
          down/up strums at the end of that measure slide down
          to F# and then F before changing to E7.  It's
          kinda tricky, and the song will sound fine
          without it if it is too hard.

I LOVE THIS. Except is it a Coronet solo or a trombone solo? Can you put up tabs for how to play it on the tuba, please?

Pretty sure it’s not a trombone, but it might just be a trumpet.

Tuba tabs?! Do they exist?
