Be Goodlions Song Chords

   
I really loved this song from the first time I heard it.  At first, it may sound 
difficult with chord voicing and movement, but you'll get the hang of it.  Hope it works out 
for you. Keep jazz alive.

Key:Bb
Capo:3rd fret


Verse:
Bb           F/A
Be good is her name
          Gm                F                            Bb
And I sing my lion's song and brush my mane
Bb                          F/A
She would and she could
Gm                   F            Eb                        
Dm7 Gsus G
So she pulled my lion's tail and caused me pain

Chorus:
              Gm7        F#dim
She said lion's are made for cages
            F                  Edim
Just to look at in delight
              Gm7              F#dim
You dare not let 'em walk around
            F                      Eb
'cause they might just bite

Bb                                   F/A
Does she know what she does when
      Gm                       F                          Bb
she dances 'round my cage and says her name?
Bb   F/A   Gm  F  Bb
Be good.. Be good


You'll notice the upright carrying the rhythm and walking up continuously from the F 
back to the Bb. Here's a quick tab for that:
(relative to capo 3)


Bb     F/A        Gm7      F       Bb

e|------------------------0--------------------------------------------------------|
B|-0------3-------3-------3---------3----------------------------------------------|
G|-0------2-------0-------2---------0----------------------------------------------|
D|-0------0-------2-------0---------0----------------------------------------------|
A|-2------x-------2-----------------2----------------------------------------------|
E|-3------2-------0------------0-2--3----------------------------------------------|


The rest of the song quite simply repeats what's tabbed above.  The solo under the sax 
may deviate slightly, but it shouldn't be too difficult to figure out.
