Part A: A E7 A Cdim E7 Won't you play a simple melody, E7 Cdim E A Cdim E7 E7sus4 Like my mother sang to me? A E7 A Cdim E7 One with good old-fashioned harmony E7 Cdim E A D9 A E7 Play a simple melody. Part B: A E7 A Cdim E7 Musical demon, set your honey a dreamin', won't you play me some rag? E7 Cdim E A Cdim E7 E7sus4 Just change that classical drag to some sweet musical nag. A E7 A Cdim E7 Cdim And if you play from a copy of a tune that is choppy, you'll get all my applause, E7 Cdim E E7 Cdim E A D9 A E7 And and that is simply because I want to listen to rag. (Part A is sung first, then part B, then Part A and B simultaneously.)
