Chords with lyrics
This isn't exactly the Willie Nelson version, its more the standard jazz version,
which Willie is playing. If you like this stuff you should get the "Real Vocal
Book Volume I, Low Voice", which is full of these great songs.
The chords are all really common in jazz songs, and I'm using the regular jazz
forms of them. You could of course substitute for first position non barre chords
if you'd like. Also, you can substitute vanilla versions of the 6th chords if you
have to (for example sub a C majorC for a C6, and a C minorCm for a Cm6Cm6), but you'll be missing
a bunch of the flavor, so its worth learning these forms if they're new to you,
especially since they're used all the time in jazz.
And chords in parenthesis means they're optional.
