Capo 2 • Video Lesson

Key

Chords

(composed by George Wyle / Mort Greene) The song originally appeared on his 1963 album, "Days of Wine and Roses". Use CAPO on position 3 to play along with the video in the singers key of Eb. A LITTLE NOTE ON GUITAR PERFORMANCE: A very easy version, yet faithful to delivering a nice acoustic guitar accopaniment. The structure of the song as presented here is based around the key of "C", which makes for easy performance of an otherwise complex arrrangment, but by your own choice of CAPO position to suit your vocal range, you should be able to perform a pleasing rendition. Combinations of "A7addA# & A7" are done promptly on each beat. In verse 3, combinations of "F9 F A7 Dm", are also are done promptly on each beat. Don't forget to slow down as the "CODA" finishes. Listen to the video for nuances.
