Edward Kennedy Ellington, pianiste, compositeur et chef d'orchestre de jazz est né le 29 avril 1899 à Washington et mort le 24 mai 1974 à New York. Son père, maître d'hôtel dans des maisons bourgeoises, lui transmit le goût pour l'élégance, ce qui lui valut dès le collège le surnom de Duke (duc).  « The Duke » est considéré comme un des plus grands et des plus prolifiques compositeurs du XXe siècle, ayant développé de nouvelles idées symphoniques basées sur l'expression et l'intonation du jazz et du blues et ayant laissé au jazz de nombreux standards.

Ken Burns Jazz-Duke Ellington

# As sung by Ella fitzgerald

C7   Db7                             C7
Night and stars above that shine so bright
Db7                         C7
The myst'ry of their fading light
Db7                      Fm
That shines upon our caravan

C7     Db7                     C7
Sleep upon my shoulder as we creep
Db7                       C7
Across the sand so I may keep
Db7                   Fm
The mem'ry of our caravan

F7
This is so exciting
Bb
You are so inviting
Eb7
Resting in my arms
Ab7                  Db7  C7
As I thrill to the magic charms

   C7  Db7                         C7 
Of you beside me here beneath the blue
Db7                         C7
My dream of love is coming true
Db7                   Fm
Within our desert caravan!

Missed the Saturday dance
                        A7
Heard they crowded the floor
                          D7
Couldn't bear it without you
G7                       C    G7
Don't get around much anymore
                        C
Thought I'd visit the club
                   A7
Got as far as the door
                           D7
They'd have asked me about you
G7                        C    C7
Don't get around much anymore
     
     F         Fm   C                  A7    
Oh, Darling I guess my mind's more at ease
D7                G7
But nevertheless, why stir up memories

                  C
Been invited on dates
                          A7
Might have gone but what for
                           D7
Awfully different without you
G7                        C

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#
I'm going where the people know my name

I know these roof top nights could last forever.
              A                            Bm
we watched the seasons change, we saw the distance pull us away,
           A
from all we shared together.

Right now is all we have you better make this count

I picked apart every word that you said
  Bm                              A
I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days
        Bm                            A
till the next time this distance will be a memory

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Gonna Be A Long Time

time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.

There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking

What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

I stay in to

Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother

To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

Listen Johnny

You'll roll up tight

And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
