Tuning:EADGBe
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:
E A D G B e
G 3-5-5-4-3-3-|
F 1-3-3-2-1-1-|
Eb x-6-8-8-8-6-|
A# 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-|
