I've read a couple of requests for chords to 'Round Midnight.
It's difficult to do a guitar version of Monk's piano style so I do the tune
this way.
I approach it as a blues, do it real late in the set list (sometime around
midnight),
and play it very slowly - almost dirgelike.


Ebm          Cm7b5     Fm7b5             Bb7
It begins to tell 'round midnight 'round midnight
Ebm7       Ab7     Bm7 E7 Bbm7 Eb7
I do pretty well 'til af      ter sun    down
Abm7              Db7     Ebm7 Ab7
Suppertime I'm feeling sad
         B7                            Bb7
But it really gets bad 'round midnight

Ebm                    Cm7b5      Fm7b5             Bb7
Memories always start 'round midnight 'round midnight
Ebm7              Ab7       Bm7 E7      Bbm7 Eb7
Haven't got the heart to stand these mem   ories
Abm7                   Db7       Ebm7 Ab7
When my heart is still with you
             B7         Bb7       Ebm7
And old midnight knows it too

                   Cm7b5     F7b9         Bb7
When some quarrel we had needs mending
            Cm7b5          F7b9   Bb7
Does it mean that our love is ending
Abm7 Db7   GbM7     B7       Bb7
Dar     ling I need you lately I find
          Eb7         Db7              B7          Bb7
You're out of my arms and I'm out of my mind

Ebm                  Cm7b5      Fm7b5             Bb7
Let our love take wing some midnight 'round midnight
Ebm7             Ab7      Bm7 E7 Bbm7 Eb7
Let the angels sing for your  re  turn    ing
Abm7              Db7       Ebm7 Ab7
Let out love be safe and sound
               B7         Bb7       Ebm
When old midnight comes around


You can use any chord forms you want but the four beginning chords I think
sound best are these:


Ebm
6  6 8  8  7 6       An Am chord barred at the sixth fret
E A D G B E

Cm7b5
x  3 4  3 4  x       An Ab9 form
E A D G B E

Fm7b5
x  8 9  8 9  x       Same form only higher up the neck
E A D G B E

Bb7
6  8 6  7 6  6       E7 form barred at sixth fret
E A D G B E

One weird chord is the F7b9 in the chorus.  This is the way I play it but you
can, of course, play it any way you want.

F7b9
x  8 7  8  7 x
E A D G B E
