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.
