Hello friends,
This doesn't happens much but I am looking for the guitar chords/tabs for a couple of songs, which some of you might have..
(they are exposed thru the styles if you happen to have these songs.)
Because I am in the middle of a rebuilding of my hobby/studio and I can't find anything at the moment (packed and covered and hidden... )

Billie Holiday - As time goes by
Billie Holiday - Loverman (Oh where can you be)
Black coffee - Peggy Lee
Goodmorning Heartache - Helen Merill

So just the chords will do.(I know the songs)
It's appreciated very much...

thanks,
fred

Fred,

I hope you realize that most commercially released music books, fakebooks and charts don't reflect the actual chords played on the record. If you play them as they appear in a book, they might sound quite different then the way Billie Holiday, Peggy Lee, and Helen Merrill's band played them because these bands implemented lots of chord substitutions which gave them such a special sound. If you're still interested , I'd suggest Chuck Sher's New Real book, as these give the chords actual chords used in legendarary performances similar to the ones you mentioned. I guess I should also add that a couple of these books were edited & transcriped by my former piano teacher, the renowned jazz pianist: Larry Dunlap: HIGHLY recommended !

Hope this helps,

Scott

Thanks scott.
But I don't want to buy them again..
I must have the music somewhere but just can't find it at the moment because I packed everything in boxes ,and I need these by friday for a small gig on saterday.
I guess I have to listen to the old vinyl and just get the chords off..
(probably a lot of 6th, 7th ,9th and 10th in minor )

Anyway thanks,

Fred
