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 for A C6 , and A Cm for A Cm6 ) , 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 .
A7 = 575855 or 5×565
xam7 = 575555 or 5×5555
B7 = 797677 or 7×787
xbm7b5 = 7×776
xbbdim7 = 6×565
xc6 = 8×798
xcm6 = 8×7888
G6 = 3×454
xd7 = x5453
xe7 = x7675
xem7 = x797877
Gmaj7 = 3×443
xverse 1 :

Am7 D7 G6 or x – 10 – 99 – 10 – 10
so why not take all of me
