It Don't Mean A Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing (Fitzgerald Ella)
Emi D C C7 B7
What good is melody, what good is mu - sic
Emi D C C7 B7
If it ain't possessin' something sweet?
Emi D C C7 B7
It ain't the melody, it ain't the mu - sic --
Emi D C C7 B7
There's something else that makes the tune complete.
Emi B+ Emi7 Em6
It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing --
A7 D7 G6 C7 B7
Doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat doo-wat.
Emi B+ Emi7 Em6
It don't mean a thing, all you got to do is sing --
A7 D7 G6
Doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat doo-wat.
Dmi7 G7 CM7/6 CM7
It makes no diff'rence if that rhythm's sweet or hot,
Emi7 A7 D7 C7 B7
Just give that rhythm ev'rything you got.
Emi B+ Cdimi Emi7 Cdimi Em6
It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing --
A7 D7 G6 Gdimi
Doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat doo-wat,
A7 Cdimi G6
Doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat doo-wat, doo-waaaa.
