Hello Adrian.

There are two versions of this song if I am correct and that I know of.  One is by the Eruptions(disco) and the other is by Neil Sedaka(1959)  Which one are you after?

  I have been looking for the Eruptions style for years and no luck yet. However on the SX keyboards there is the 90s Disco and variations 3 & 4 with tempo of 125-127 seems to do the trick at least for now. Tweak it to your liking.

  Now if you are after the 1959 style, I have one called One_Way_Ticket_Amkey--NSedaka.  No lead sheets as I can't read a stich of music. In my version I play on the key of C# and C#m chord.

   Let me know if you are after the 1959 version and I can get you the style.  It's on the forum somewhere btw as that is where I got it 3 years ago.

Thanks dom
I didn't know about the variations, I have just heard some of the words it might be One Way Ticket to The Moon
You might have the right one, it would be handy to try it
 I thought it was a newish song, I have only recently heard it but sometimes a given song might not come to our attention for years
I didn't think of looking on the forum for it
In the absence of some printed notes I could still make a stab at playing it, I might be able to listen to it on utube
I am using Tyros 5

Hi Adrian. 

            FYI.  The Neil Sedaka song version is One Way Ticket(To the BLues). Written by Jack Keller and Hank Hunter and original performer was Neil Sedaka.
                  Later this was modernized by Boney M/Eruptions. I think a long scandal there with these guys.

  Anyway what I have done for you is created this link  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/14utGK_YOxssyeWYUsooaam--5oIG88_e   

  It contains both songs full length version for your enjoyment along with my registration of the 90s Disco which is defaulted on my keyboard. Just thinking since you have a Tyros 5, I suspect that it will be useless as mine is an SX700. However I would expect the Tyros would have the same default style. Regardless I copied it off my keyboard for you.

 In addition as I stated I play by ear so I have added a screen shot of how I write my "cheat sheets".  Only way for me to keep track of over 200 songs that I play and enjoy.

      Hope it all works for you.


                 Enjoy!   dom
