This is to expand upon the work of the first tabber. Some have complained that it's
to read and I'm putting it in the usual UG format with chord diagrams:
Intro: C11 F Am7 D
C11 F C
Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7 C
A race of angels bound with one another
Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7 G
A dish of dollars laid out for all to see
Em7 G9 C
Am7
A tower room at Eden Rock, his golf at noon for free
C11 F Am7 D
Brooklyn owes the charmer under me
C11 F C
Brooklyn owes the charmer under me
Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7 C
His lady's aching to bring a body down
Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7 G

An evening with a movie queen, a face we all have seen

C11 F C

Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7 C

The whole of time we gain or lose, and power enough to choose
C11 F Am7 D
Brooklyn owes the charmer under me

Chord Diagrams:
C11 - x33333
F - 133211
Am7 - 002010
C - x32010
Fmaj7 - 133210
Em7 - 022033
Dm7 -x00211
G - 320033
G9 - 3x0201
Bb - x13331
This is how I play it--maybe not exactly how it sounds on the original recording, but
darn close. I find it difficult to play Bb so I sometimes use the fifth and when I'm
adventurous I use Bb13 (x20233). A flashy technique I also like is to bar the C11 chord
your thumb then quckly jump back to the barred F chord during he chorus. Listen to the
over and over and you'll get the rhythm. I play it a little more uptempo than the Dan.
