As we all know of the quarantine taking place, i'd like to do work on a piano cover for the police them and could definetley benefit from it rather than by ear.

I don't have a plan to do it. I haven't owned a licenced copy of Sibelius (or Finale, etc) in years so it'd be faster to just to it by hand and upload a picture.
My primary job is a piano teacher though and I'd always recommend transcription as one of the most essential exercises and aural skills are the most important skills regardless of instrument and genre, plus the melody's not that complicated.
The chords throughout the theme (though different iterations occasionally have substitutions) are typically as follows:
| i7 | (i7) | III | i7 |
| VI#7 | iv7 | i IV | VI#7 V7#9 |
It's often in B minor so, for example, that'd be:
Bm7, (Bm7 again), Dmaj7, Bm7,
Gmaj7, Em7, Bm -> E, Gmaj7 -> F#7(aug9), Bm
I'm sure I've done it a couple of different ways before, ie using a bII and ii(dim) (C and C#dim) in place of VI#7 in the 8th bar but there's a few versions of it.
Throw in more extensions or a busier accompaniment for some more flavour, cut them out and play it more sparse for a more isolated, lonely sound and have fun with the melody!
