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

			   Satin Doll  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

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:

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.
