Jimmy Witherspoon – Moneys Getting Cheaper chords

     This is a great tune with a jazzy blues feel
     and fun lyrics. Try substituting C9 for C7 played
     on the third fret. You can slide into the cord from
     above or below as well you can slide down into F7.
     Going from the 7th fret to the 5th and 3rd on the turnaround
     Is an ear pleaser. Have fun!!
