On page 14 of the New Real Book Volume 2 is Alfie's Theme.  The first
chord (which repeats many times throughout the tune) is Bb-.  When I
see a dash after a chord, I think it means minor, so I would play a Bb
Db and an F.  However, this really doesn't sound like the song.  Bb
major sounds much more like it.  Is this a misprint?  Do I
misunderstand the chord symbol?  Or am I just mishearing a very key
element of this classic song made so popular by Stevie Wonder when he
played it on the harmonica?
