2: If you're headed down a one way street
And you're not sure it's the way you wanna go
In money or love or all the above
Have a little more than what you show
When life deals out a surprise
Have a few surprises of your own
No matter what you do, no matter where you go
You've got to have an ace in the hole
Chords I use (but they are by no means the only choice):
I still am not comfortable with the Bb(#5)/F#
Bb Eb7 Bb7 Eb Edim7 Bb/F G7#5
1111116 111116 1111116 111116 1 6 116 11113
2 2 2 2 34
34 3 4 3 333 3 4 34
C7 F F7 Eb6 I often use plain Eb
:111113 111111 111111 |:1||:10 instead of Eb6.
2 2 2 3
3 4 34 3 4
To really get the Western Swing sound you want to hit the bass notes
on beats 1 and 3 and strum the whole chord on 2 and 4, but muffle it
quickly to get a percussive BOOM-chick BOOM-chick sound. If any of
you are more adventurous and would like some "swing-ier" sounding
chords, I've got some suggestions from Bo Parker that I'll be happy
to share with you.
