Chords

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- from Disney's Oliver & Co. soundtrack Tabbed by: Cody Email: [email protected] This tab isn't of the entire song. Specifically I left out the "They love me at the they adore me at the Ritz" because it's somewhat un-melodic and I couldn't really figure it out. I wrote these tabs with timing in mind. I put the chords over the word it should be played on. In some cases it's over the part of the word it should be played. example; F starts on 'lancey' in 'Delancey'. Here are the chords I use:
G   3-5-5-4-3-3-
F   1-3-3-2-1-1-
Eb  x-6-8-8-8-6-
Bb  6-8-8-7-6-6-
D   x-5-7-7-7-5-
Eb7 x-6-8-6-8-6-
Em  0-2-2-0-0-0-
D*  x-0-0-2-3-2-
C   x-3-2-0-1-0-
