I like most of these chords. There may be a few that could be improved,
suggestions welcome.
Note, I don't use a pick. Most of these old jazz songs I pluck,
thumb and fingers on the downbeat, fingers only on the upbeat.
Ab13: 4x456x
Ab7+5: 4x455x
C#7#9: x4345x
[Intro]
BM7 C#m7
[Verse 1]
BM7 C#m7
Day in, day out
BM7 C#m7 Dm7 Ebm7 Ab13 Ab7+5
The same old voodoo follows me about
F#
The same old pounding in my heart
F#7
Whenever I think of you
Fm7 A#7
and darling, I think of you
BM7 Abm7 C#m7 F#13
Day in and day out
[Verse 2]
BM7 C#m7
Day out, day in
BM7 C#m7 Dm7 Ebm7 Ab13 Ab7+5
I needn't tell you how my days begin
F# C#7#9
When I awake I awaken with a tingle
F# C#7#9
One possibility in view
F# A#m7 Am7 Abm7 F#13 F#7+5 F#7
That possibility of maybe seeing you
[Verse 3]
BM7 C#m7
Come rain, come shine
BM7 C#m7 Dm7 Ebm7 Ab13 Ab7+5
I meet you and to me the day is fine
EM7 Em7 BM7 C#m7 BM7
Then I kiss your lips and the pounding becomes
Ab7+5 C#m7 F#13 BM7 Abm7 BM7
The oceans roar, a thousand drums
Ab7+5 EM7 Em7 BM7
Can't you see it's love? Can there be any doubt
Ab7+5 C#m7 F#13 BM7
When there it is, day in, day out?
(solos over verses 1 and 2, repeat verse 3 with vocals, substitute the coda for the last line)
[Coda]
Ab7+5 C#m7 F#13
When there it is,
C#m7 F#13
and here it is,
C#m7 F#13
and there it is,
BM7
day in, day out?
