CECIL GANT - Midnight On Central Avenue
I wrote down the chord structure by ear, I think it is quite correct.
This version which is tabbed here is in C major, though many of the recordings of
this song are in Eb major (you can use the tune up option on this site)
This song consists of a 12-bar blues instrumental in the beginning which is
alternated with an AABA 8-bar jazz-blues chorus for the singing.
The order goes as follows: 12-bar-blues, AABA, 12-bar-blues, 12-bar-blues, AABA
Part A:
| C | C7 | F | Fm |
| C | Dm7 G6 | C Am7 | Dm7 G6 |
Part B:
| C | F | F | C |
| C | Am7 | Dm7 | G6 |
