Cruella DeVille Chords
These are chords figured out straight from the movie, and then simplified into
a format that you could sing to (I.e., without all of Roger's breaks where he
switches instruments to annoy Cruella). I prefer to play it almost entirely
in dominant seven chords, but the regular major chords are probably more correct
in some cases. It's hard to say as I don't play piano so following the jazz chords
gets me some times, but to me, this sounds more correct than anything else.
Also, I hold that this is the best diss song ever written.
Ab7 C#7 Ab7 C#7
Cruella Deville, Cruella DeVille
Ab7 C#7 Ab7 C#7
If She doesn't scare you, no evil thing will
Ab7 C7 F7
To see her is to take a sudden chill
Bb7 Eb7 Ab7
Cruella, Cruella DeVille
C C Fm Fm
At first you think Cruella is the devil
C C Fm Fm
But after time has worn away the shock
Bb Bb Bb7 Bb7
You come to realize, you've seen those kind of eyes
E7 E7 Eb7
Watching from underneath a rock
Ab7 C#7 Ab7 C#7
This vampire bat, this inhuman beast
Ab7 C#7 Ab7 C#7
She ought to be locked up, and never released
Ab7 C7 F7 F7
The world was such a wholesome place until
Bb7 Eb7 Ab7
Cruella, Cruella DeVille
I've seen another verse or two before, they'd just follow the same pattern
as the first verse. Or, please, write more verses, because this song is
fantastic and should last forever.
