Ok, finished a rough sketch. Figuring out the key change really helped. I am not sure about the fast notes in the refrain, but fortunately those can be sung and not played, so I might avoid making a mess of them.

The other thing throwing me off was that Amarie sings low, and this is quite a bit higher. But I am fairly confident that the melody doesn't really sit half an octave lower with the chords as written - I tried that and couldn't make it work out. On the flip side, if I go a full octave lower, it gets really low. I am not going to make the mistake I did with the previous songs, so I will pause for a pitch test. It would be easy for me to shift everything down now, before I begin the real thing, to match Amarie's pitch. Can you please ask Celebestel how far she would like the shift to go so that she is in a comfortable range? As in, this is "just right, no shift needed" or "a bit high" or "super high" or "singing an octave lower is just a bit low, shift up" or "make it match whatever Amarie has"? I know this is really vague... But what I can also do is make a bunch of copies and she can pick whichever range suits her best, and I will work with that one.
