Satin Doll

Words & Music:

Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn and Johnny Mercer.

 

Dm7       G7    Dm7     G7

Cigarette holder, which wigs me.

Em7      A7      Em7   A7

Over her shoulder, she digs me.

Am9  D9    Am9    Dd9   C

Out cattin', that Satin Doll.

 

Baby, shall we go out skippin'?

Careful, amigo, you're flippin'.

Speaks Latin, that Satin Doll.

 

BRIDGE:

Gm7            C7            Gm7        C7b9        FM7  Gm7 Am7 Bbm7

She's nobody's fool; so, I'm playing it cool as can be.

     Am7              D7    Am7          D7b9          G7

I'll give it a whirl, but I ain't for no girl catching me.

G7    Dm7 D7

Switch-a-rooney!

 

Telephone numbers, well, you know...

Doin' my rhumbas with uno.

And that 'un my Satin Doll.
