Subject: TAB(almost): Satin Doll

actually, I changed my mind; the melody is so easy (and slow) it really
doesn't need to be tabbed, since the whole thing could be played on one
string.  I think it's easier (on me, at least) simply to write the note
names over the lyrics.  so, here goes:

Satin Doll--by Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn, and Johnny Mercer

I assume you know how the rhythm goes.  Hope this is accurate, and hope it
helps.  If any of this is unclear, let me know.  Suggestions, corrections,
improvements, general wisdom welcome.
