Satin Doll Ellington/Strayhorn
Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7
Cigarrette holder, which wigs me,
Em7 A7 Em7 A7
Over her shoulder, she digs me,
Cm D7 Abm7 C#7 C7 - C#dim
Out cattin' that Satin Doll.
Baby shall we go out shippin',
Careful amigo, you're flippin',
Speaks latin, that Satin Doll.
C Gm7 C
She's nobody's fool,
Gm C F
So I'm playin' it cool as can be.

I'll give it a whirl,

But ain't for no girl catchin' me!
Telephone numbers, well, you know,
Doing my rhumbas with Uno,
And that 'n' my Satin Doll.
