Play in barre chords, slow swing jazz....
Satin Doll Ellington/Strayhorn
Cigarrette holder, which wigs me,
Over her shoulder, she digs me,
-
Out cattin' that Satin Doll.
Baby shall we go out shippin',
Careful amigo, you're flippin',
Speaks latin, that Satin Doll.
She's nobody's fool,
So I'm playin' it cool as can be.
I'll give it a whirl,
But ain't for no girl catchin' me!
Telephone numbers, well, you know,
Doing my rhumbas with Uno,
And that 'n' my Satin Doll.
Exit: - -

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:

Words: Cig-a-rette holder, which wigs me, over her shoulder, she digs me

subsequent verses are the same. onto the bridge:
Chords: C7b9
Notes:
Words: She's no-bod-y's fool, so I'm playing it cool as can be
Chords: D7b9
Notes:
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.
