Don't Get Around Much Anymore
Words & Music by Bob Russel & Duke Ellington, 1942
Recorded by Mel Torme*, 1945
(G) C Dm7 Cdim C
Missed the Saturday dance;
C/B A Bm7-5 Cdim A7
Heard they crowded the floor.
Fdim D7 G7
Couldn't bear it without you--
(N.C.) Fdim G G7 C Edim Gdim G7
Don't get around much anymore.
(G) C Dm7 Cdim C
Thought I'd visit the club;
C/B A Bm7-5 Cdim A7
Got as far as the door,
Fdim D7 G7
They'd have asked me about you--
(N.C.) Fdim G G7 C Fdim C
Don't get around much anymore.
Bridge:
F6 Bb9
Darling, I guess
CM7 C C7
My mind's more at ease;
D9 D7 B7
But nevertheless,
Em B+ Em7 Dm7 G
Why stir up mem-o-ries?
(G) C Dm7 Cdim C
Been invited on dates;
C/B A Bm7-5 Cdim A7
Might have gone, but what for?
Fdim D7 G7
Awfully different without you--
(N.C.) Fdim G G7 C Fdim C
Don't get around much anymore,
(N.C.) Fdim G G7 C Fdim C G CM7
Don't get around much anymore.
*This version is a synthesis of probably every recording of this song I've ever heard. It's almost unfair to credit it to any one singer, since the song has been recorded over 250 times, and popular versions were done by Tormé, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat "King" Cole, Tony Bennett, The Mills Brothers, Patti Page…even even in the 90s by Harry Connick Jr.
The lyric and guitar chord transcriptions on this site are the work of The Guitarguy and are intended for private study, research, or educational purposes only. Individual transcriptions are inspired by and and based upon the recorded versions cited, but are not necessarily exact replications of those recorded versions.
