			   Satin Doll  Ellington/Strayhorn


	Dm7Dm7    G7G7   Dm7Dm7  G7G7
	Cigarrette holder, which wigs me,
	E minor 7Em7   A7A7    E minor 7Em7 A7A7
	Over her shoulder, she digs me,
	C minorCm D7D7   Abm7Abm7 C#7C#7  C7C7  - C#dimC#dim
	Out cattin' that Satin Doll.

	Baby shall we go out shippin',
	Careful amigo, you're flippin',
	Speaks latin, that Satin Doll.

	C majorC   Gm7Gm7   C majorC
	She's nobody's fool,
	    G minorGm     C majorC      FF
	So I'm playin' it cool as can be.
	   Am7Am7    D7D7
	I'll give it a whirl,
	  Am7Am7      D7D7      G7G7
	But ain't for no girl catchin' me!

	Telephone numbers, well, you know,
	Doing my rhumbas with Uno,
	And that 'n' my Satin Doll.

Exit:	D7D7 - G7G7 - C7C7

Subject: TAB(almost): Satin Doll

actually, I changed my mind; the melody is so easy (and slow) it really
doesn't need to be tabbed, since the whole thing could be played on one
string. I think it's easier (on me, at least) simply to write the note
names over the lyrics. so, here goes:
