<< Back to Fats Waller Song List
Version 1
IMPORTANT NOTES:
It is reccommended to listen to the original song to learn the chord changes by ear because they are not
consistent with the lyrics in the original recording.
On "C*", strum down once and palm mute the strings; then resume strumming beginning with the F chord of the
first chorus.
Since there is no acoustic in the song and all main parts are played by Fats and his piano, the strumming
pattern is up to you to find or create.
