I don't stand a ghost of a chance - Linda Ronstadt
Words: Bing Crosby, Ned Washington
Music: Victor Young
Notes:
A simplified but effective arrangement for a sweet jazz toned guitar, and in a key for a male baritone
derived from the slow & even tempo of the recording by Linda Ronstadt.
This arrangement bypasses the intro, but you could implement your own if required.
There are 2 variations of Amaj7, (for some melodic variation), so try the 2nd instance of Amaj7 in
combination with G#aug, at the start of the 2nd & 4th verses.
See also the 2 variations of A7. Use the first instance of A7 only at the start of 2nd line of lyrics,
and then use the 2nd instance of A7 when playing the quick succession of A7 A6 Dm
(as in the 2nd line of each verse).
Finally, sing and play the Coda delicately, staggering the mood and the emotion with pauses
as shown with the streched out lyrics.
