Eb Cm7 Fm7 Bb9
No one to talk with, all by myself,
Eb G7+5(1) Ab Abm Ddim
No one to walk with, but I'm happy on the shelf.
Eb Gb7 Fm7 Bb9
Ain't misbehavin', I'm savin' my love for
Eb Edim F7(2) Bb7(3)
you.
Eb Cm7 Fm7 Bb9
I know for certain, the one I love
Eb G7+5 Ab Abm Ddim
I'm through with flirtin' it's just you I'm thinkin' of
Eb Gb7 Fm7 Bb9
Ain't misbehavin, I'm saving my love for
Eb Ab Bb7 G7
you.
Cm Ab7
Like Jack Horner, in the corner
F7 C7
Don't go no-where, what do I care
Bb Cm F7
Your kisses are worth waiting
Bb7 C7 F7 Bb7

Eb Gb7 Fm7 Bb9

Chords and substitutions:
Eb: x 6 5 3 4 3
Cm7: x 3 5 3 4 3 or x x 1 3 1 3
Fm7: 1 3 1 1 4 1
Bb9 x 1 0 1 1 1 or x 3 3 3 3 4
G7+5 x x 1 0 0 1 (1) G7+5 sounds awkward in a solo. I substitute G7.
It's not technically correct. I'm not a purist.
G7 3 5 3 4 3 3
Ab 4 6 6 5 4 4
Abm 4 6 6 4 4 4
Ddim x x 3 4 3 4 or x x 0 1 0 1
Gb7 2 4 2 3 2 2
Edim x x 2 3 2 3
F7 1 3 1 2 1 1 (2) This should be a 9th, but the voice holds the 9th.
Play F7 for accompaniment or solo.
Bb7 x 1 3 1 3 1 (3) This is not in the original. But in a solo it
resolves better than the F7.
G7 3 5 3 4 3 3
Cm x 3 5 3 4 3
Ab7 4 6 4 5 4 4
C7 8 10 8 9 8 8 or x 3 5 3 5 3

====================
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official WALLER FATS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
