You want to look for a folio called Rumours: Off The Record published by International Music Publications (IMP) Ltd. in 1992, England. It's probably out of print, so you'll have to look for a used copy.

It contains the most authentic piano arrangement of Songbird ever published commercially. The arrangements published in the Warner Bros. books are worthless in terms of their authenticity to the original.

With some help from this folio, I now play Songbird essentially the way Christine does -- or did. I really recommend the IMP folio.
