Nice Work If You Can Get It Tab

by Ella Fitzgerald


by Gershwin

This one is an augmented bonanza! takes some practice, but it's worthwhile.
The placement of the chords is very melodically driven.  
 (+) = augmented 
 (-) = minor (or literally "flat the _" depending on context)
 
Enjoy! :D 


    +5        
Holding hands at midnight

             
'Neath a starry sky

           -7  -7             -7    -7
Oh that is nice work if you can get it

                     
And you can get it -- if you try

      +5         
Strolling with the one girl

                
Sighing sigh after sigh

   -7   -7            -7    -7
Oh nice work if you can get it

                    
And you can get it -- if you try


           -7 
Just imagine someone

                    
Waiting at the cottage door

                   
Where two hearts become one

                          
Who could ask for anything more?



   +5         
Loving one who loves you,

                  
And then taking that vow

-7  -7             -7      -7
Nice work if you can get it,

               
And if you get it --


(no 3rd)       +   
Won't you tell me how------------------
