Straight No Chaser

From: parker_b%*@*
Subject: TAB: Straight, No Chaser by
 Thelonious Monk

This is a 12-bar blues.  The 
indicated chords are simple, but you
 can
alter or spice them up any way you 
wish. This tune is pretty typical
of Monk's melodic sense: it's 
simple, but wry and not obvious.
