I love this song and I did a post awhile back on my other blog. You'll find the chord charts at Arise Chord Charts

Recently I received an email from aleks and we were discussing the correct chords on the bridge part:
We lift you up. So, I thought I would post the chords to this popular song in Eb, along with the modulation to F. Let me know what you think.

"Bella's Lullaby" Carter Burwell - Edward Cullen - Twilight - Piano Version

 

http://www.8notes.com/school/riffs/piano/carter_burwell_bellas_lullaby.asp

 

The introduction to Carter Burwell's theme for Bella's Lullaby from the film Twilight is in D major, but uses a G minor instead of the usual G major. The G minor is often with an extra E to make G minor 6

 This sets up a slightly mysterious romantic atmosphere. Make a rocking back and two pattern out of these chords and you have a sound which could have been written by Schumann or Janacek. 

 Later when the main theme arrives we have moved into A minor, but the scale used is a bluesy scale.

Warmest Regards,
