Opus One chords by Vaughan Monroe

• Difficulty: Intermediate

D          D6       D           D6
I'm wrackin' my brain to think of a name
   Dm7+         Dm6     Dm7+      Dm6
To give to this tune so Perry can croon
    Em7/9     A7        Em7        A7
And maybe ol' Bing will give it a fling
    D             Fdim     Em7         A7
And that'll start everyone hummin' the thing
    D         D6       D       D6
The melody's dumb  repeat and repeat
    Dm7+       Dm6        Dm7+        Dm6
But if you can swing, it's got a good beat
    Em7/9           A7        Em7           A7
And that's the main thing, to make with the feet
       D           G         D
'Cause ev'ryone's swingin' today
Bridge
            F      Gm
So I call it Opus One
     A#     C7    F    Dm   A#   C7
It's not for Sammy Kaye, hey, hey, hey
 G             D7              G     Gdim
Opus One it's got to swing not sway, maybe
   D           D6         D         D6
If Mister Les Brown could make it renowned
    Dm7+     Dm6       Dm7+        Dm6
And Ray Anthony could swing it for me
        Em7/9   A7           Em7            A7
There's never a doubt you'll knock yourself out
    Em7          A7        D6
Whenever you can hear Opus One
