[Am][Bm][E][Asus4]
[Am]A long

[Verse 1]
[G#aug]time ago in the [Eaug]forties[Am]
Dizzy and [Eaug]bird gave us
[Am]this [Fm]song

[Verse 2]
[Bbdim]new and very [Bb]stran[Am]ge
Blew the [Bbdim]squares r[Bb]ight off the s[Am]tage
[C]Few[Bb] could play alo[Am]ng
But the melody still [Bm]lingers [Asus4]on

[Verse 3]
Max and [G#aug]miles to nam[Am]e just two
[Bbdim]Together they [Am]grew
The [C]mu sic was [Bb]young and [Am]strong
And the [Bm]melody still lingers [Asus4]on

[Verse 4]
They [Edim]paved the way for g[C#dim]enera tion[Gm]s
From [Dm]Coltrane to [F]Stevie
No [Fm]one could stop the
[Gm]winds of change
[C]Without them where'd we be?

[Verse 5]
The duke and the [Bb]pres
were there be[C]fore
The [Bb]past you can[Bbsus4]'t ignore
[Am]The [C]torch [Bb]is lit, we'll keep t[Am]he flame
And the [Bm]melody remains the
[Asus4]same

[Bm]In t[Daug]he forti[Bm]es[Cdim][Bm]
A [F#]night in [Daug]Tunisia
In the forties
