Play in barre chords, slow swing jazz....

Ellington/Strayhorn


	Dm7        G7      Dm7    G7
	Cigarrette holder, which wigs me,
	Em7      A7        Em7  A7
	Over her shoulder, she digs me,
	Cm  D7      Abm7 C#7   C7    - C#dim
	Out cattin' that Satin Doll.
	
	Baby shall we go out shippin',
	Careful amigo, you're flippin',
	Speaks latin, that Satin Doll.
	
	C     Gm7      C
	She's nobody's fool,
	       Gm         C           F
	So I'm playin' it cool as can be.
	     Am7       D7
	I'll give it a whirl,
	    Am7           D7           G7
	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:	D7 - G7 - C7


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:
