Silver Sprigs Vocals

Hey, does anyone have any idea as to the lines that Chris and Lindsey sing in the Chorus of Silver Springs? I'm trying to arrange it for my choir but I can't figure out where they sing...If anyone here has perfect pitch or a songbook with full harmonies in it, could they shoot a GIF or JPG of the notes my way? I have the singers doing chords right now and it sounds cool, but I'd like to have a more accurate sound...

I annoyingly lost BOTH of my Fleetwood Mac (Dance and Greatest Hits) songbooks, so I can't look for sure, but from what I can tell the harmonies aren't complicated at all. As the chords ascend, LB and CM just pick the lower note and higher note of the chord (respectively) and sing them. Now I know that's pretty much the basis for any harmony, but sometimes the chords are a little more intricate. With Silver Springs I think the chords are pretty straightforward...so I'm guessing that you probably have it right and just don't realize it. Think of it this way -- I took piano lessons for 6 years and now I can barely read music, but I was able to read the music for Silver Springs.

possible, but I do have the right notes for stevie, and she is jumping back and forth between notes in the Amin, G, C, F, G progression, so that means that LB and CM are not just doing thirds and fifths above her. Plus in the Dance version I hear LB climbing one note, holding it for two notes, dropping down, then leaping up to a high note, but I can't nail down which notes are which...if I can get him or Chris nailed down I can figure out the rest...having two other vocalists in the background mix isn't helping a lot either, I guess...
