Ella Fitzgerald — Nice Work If You Can Get It Chords
by Gershwin
This one is an augmented bonanza! takes some practice, but it's worthwhile.
The placement of the chords is very melodically driven.
(+) = augmented
(—) = minor (or literally "flat the _" depending on context)
Enjoy! :D
A7+5 Ab9+5 G7+5 C9
Holding hands at midnight
F7 Bb9 G6/9 Abdim
'Neath a starry sky
A—7 D—7 G—7 A—7
Oh that is nice work if you can get it
Bb6 Ddim C7sus F
And you can get it —— if you try
A7+5 Ab9+5 G7+5 C9
Strolling with the one girl
F7 Bb9 G6/9 Abdim
Sighing sigh after sigh
A—7 D—7 G—7 A—7
Oh nice work if you can get it
Bb6 Ddim C7sus F
And you can get it —— if you try
Dm F—7 Bb9
Just imagine someone
Dm F6 G9
Waiting at the cottage door
Cm F6/9 G7+5
Where two hearts become one
C F Bb7—5
Who could ask for anything more?
A7+5 Ab9+5 G7+5 C9
Loving one who loves you,
F7 Bb9 G6/9 Abdim
And then taking that vow
A—7 D—7 G—7 A—7
Nice work if you can get it,
Eb7 D7
And if you get it ——
G(no 3rd) Bb6 Bb7 F Eb+ Db7 C7+5 F6
Won't you tell me how——————————————————
