If all you want is to play the theme, I guess the best way is to simply figuring out the notes by ear.
Play notes in the keyboard and try to match them to the theme. Memorize or write them out.
If you know scales that will help since all the notes you have to play are probably in the scale the theme is written on.

If you want to make some form of accompaniment you are in for a bit of study on music theory.

(I do hope accompaniment is a real word...)  :-[
I am perfectly normal, it is everyone else who is strange.

First recording:

Key: Ab Major
First part of melody: C, Db, Eb, Eb, F, Db
Second part of melody: Bb, C, Db, Db, Eb

Hi there,

The reason no one is responding is because it's time consuming to take the melody and harmony down by dictation. I've given you a bit to get started with. Good luck!
