Nice Work If You Can Get It by Ella Fitzgerald - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Ella Fitzgerald Song List

Version 1

            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------------------
