| Subject: TAB(almost): Satin Doll |
| actually, I changed my mind; the melody is so easy (and slow) it really |
| doesn't need to be tabbed, since the whole thing could be played on one |
| string. I think it's easier (on me, at least) simply to write the note |
| names over the lyrics. so, here goes: |
| Satin Doll--by Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn, and Johnny Mercer |
| Chords: Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 Em7 A7 Em7 A7 |
| Notes: A G A G A A G A B A B A B B A B |
| Words: Cig-a-rette holder, which wigs me, over her shoulder, she digs me |
| Chords: Am9 D9 Abm9 Db9 C |
| Notes: D C D Bb Ab Bb G |
| Words: Out cattin', that satin doll |
| subsequent verses are the same. onto the bridge: |
| Chords: Gm7 C7 Gm7 C7b9 FM7 Gm7 Am7 Bbm7 |
| Notes: G C Bb A G A Bb C Bb A G A Bb C |
| Words: She's no-bod-y's fool, so I'm playing it cool as can be |
| Chords: Am7 D7 Am7 D7b9 G7 Dm7 G7 |
| Notes: C D C B A B C D C B A B C D |
| Words: I'll give it a whirl, but I ain't for no girl catching me |
| I assume you know how the rhythm goes. Hope this is accurate, and hope it |
| helps. If any of this is unclear, let me know. Suggestions, corrections, |
| improvements, general wisdom welcome. |
