If you have TablEdit software.
Here is a quick way to get fake book type notation and tab into your TablEdit.
Let's say you want a fake sheet for "Blue Bayou"
Open up the TablEdit and click on "File"

find your midi file and click on it and "open"

click on the track numbers and click on "Play" and "Stop" till you get to the track that has the melody and click on "Import" no you don't click on the red X

It should go to this look on you screen with the melody listed in the tab and notation. Click on the play arrow to play and check the accuracy of the notation and tab
Then it's up to you to build on it and rearrange the tab so it is playable in positions of your liking .
Note: It has to be a midi file don't try to import an MP3.

You can get a midi of about any song in the world on the net, just type the title and add midi after it in your browser!!

Even better if you have Band In A Box
In BIAB go to "File" to "Open Midi file"
after the song loads click on the "G" on the notation bar at the bottom I have circled in red and the notation will appear.
