Ebb Tide - Robert Maxwell, Carl Sigman

This was written as a slow ballad in 1953, and was recorded that way by numerous artists.

However, this is my swinging version. The chords are not much different from the original.

You'll find many recordings on YouTube. I haven't referred to any in particular because none swing the tune.

Thanks, Bob.

I started a new thread for this tune because in your original thread from 2014 the link doesn't go to a file.

Cheers,

Mysterious.
The song chart opens on both iOS and android for me.
I removed the title - composer written in plain text to avoid confusion.

Bob,

Whatever you did, it works for me now.

I like your key better, Ab major. It's more resonant than my C major.

I'd put ∆7 on the major chords and -7 on the minor chords. Also, the turnaround is written as "Eb-." I'm sure you mean Eb7.

Cheers,
Jer

Thanks Jer
The tides have ebb’d a few times since 2014. Likely that was a chart I found on the interweb.
