Chords

THE GREEN BOOK Transcription and chart Peter Kruger [email protected] ( probably better tackled on a keyboard. The maj7-5 chords over bass notes one semi-tone lower than the root aren't really meant to be played on guitar! ) |D5(7) | | | | |D5(7) | |D7/Eb | | |D7/Eb |D7+9 |Ebmaj7-5/D | | |Ebmaj7-5/D | | | |
Ebmaj7-5/D
          My coat is black and the moon is yellow
Here is where I get off As you can see for yourself old girl in the Green Book
  Cm6/9
I tango down to the smoky lobby
My eyes adjust to the light
 Dbmaj7-5/C                       
             The new cashier looks like Jill St. John

       Dbmaj7-5  Bmaj7-5 G7sus4/D
Can    that      be      right?

Abmaj7-5/G
           I'm rolling into the bar at Joey's
They're getting ready to close
                     Eb6     Am7-5
Here she comes very "Kiss Me Deadly"

   F7sus4  /C    Eb7sus4  /Bb     D7sus4     Eb13add9  Eb9 
My life,      my love,         my third hand rose

Ebmaj7-5/D
          Flash ahead to a yummy playback
Just you and me in a room
                  Dbsus4/Ab   Eb7  Gsus4/D     Ebmaj7-5/D
Double dreaming a page        at a time in the Green     Book
|Cm9 |Gmaj9 |Cm9 /F |D7 D7sus4 |
  |Ebmaj7      |D7   |Gbmaj7-5    |          
                -2/4-

Ebmaj7-5/D
            The torso rocks and the eyes are keepers
Now where'd we sample those legs? I'm thinking Marilyn 4.0 in the Green Book
Cm6/9
      I like the neon I love the music
Anachronistic but nice
Dbmaj7-5/C
           The seamless segue from fun to fever

       Dbmaj7-5  Bmaj7-5   G7sus4/D
It's a sweet     de        vice

Abmaj7-5/G
           I'm so in love with this dirty city
This crazy grid of desire
                    Eb6      Am7-5
The festive icons a long the way

    F7sus4  /C    Eb7sus4   /Bb        D7sus4  D7  Eb13add9  Eb9
The boardwalk,    the lovers,      the house   on  fire

Ebmaj7-5/D
            She's kind of cute but a little younger
She's got the mood and the moves
                    Dbsus4/Ab  Eb7   G7sus4/D    Ebmaj7-5/D
It's kinda scary to dig        your  self in the Green Book.
