On A Misty Night Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
We'd like to play a [G]composition by
the great bebop composer
Tad
Dameron, the
original recording by
Tad
[Am]Dameron on piano and
[G]John
Coltrane on tenor
saxophone.
We take the version
that I heard by the late
Chet
Baker, also with
George
Coleman on tenor saxophone.
There was no text to this
beautiful melody,
there is now.
Text is mine.
And also the little short solo that
Chet played on
his trumpet,
I wrote some text for that.
It's a beautiful unsung song of jazz
entitled
On a
Misty
