Nice Work If You Can Get It

Ella Fitzgerald

Text File

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 


A7+5    Ab9+5    G7+5    C9
Holding hands at midnight

F7       Bb9    G6/9  Abdim
'Neath a starry sky

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

            Bb6     Ddim C7sus F  
And you can get it -- if you try

A7+5      Ab9+5    G7+5     C9
Strolling with the one girl

F7      Bb9        G6/9  Abdim
Sighing sigh after sigh

   A-7   D-7            G-7    A-7
Oh nice work if you can get it

            Bb6     Ddim C7sus F 
And you can get it -- if you try


Dm           F-7 Bb9
Just imagine someone

Dm             F6       G9
Waiting at the cottage door

Cm                 F6/9  G7+5
Where two hearts become one

           C           F    Bb7-5
Who could ask for anything more?



A7+5   Ab9+5   G7+5      C9
Loving one who loves you,

F7       Bb9         G6/9  Abdim
And then taking that vow

A-7  D-7             G-7      A-7
Nice work if you can get it,

           Eb7    D7
And if you get it --


G(no 3rd) Bb6  Bb7 F   Eb+ Db7 C7+5 F6
Won't you tell me how------------------
