"Don't Get Around Much Anymore," by Bob Russell/Duke Ellington
[Verse 1]
C Dm7 D#dim7 C/E
Missed the Saturday Dance
A Bm7 Cdim7 A7/C#
Heard they crowded the floor
D7 G7 C C/E Ebdim7 Dm7 C
Couldn't bear it without you, don't get around much anymore
Other verses the same...The bar which leads into the bridge is just two
beats each of Gm7 and then C7, then we come to:
[Chorus 1]
F6 Bb9 Cmaj7 C7 C7#5 D7 F#m7b5 B7
Darling, I guess, my mind's more at ease, but nevertheless
Em7 Ebdim7 D7 G7
why stir up memories?
After the last verse, end on that lovely C7#9 chord. Hope this is what
you need. If anybody needs full lyrics, help with the chords, or
whatever, let me know. As always, corrections and improvments welcome and
encouraged--it keeps me on my toes.
