Lemon Twist - Bobby Troup

[KLO]

Hi,
I am a new member and this is my first post. I am looking for the chord changes for Lemon Twist, a great tune by Bobby Troup for which there doesn't appear to be sheet music available for purchase. Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm working on this tune already. Will post as soon as I'm done.

I hope this helps. I'm not super familiar with this tune, so if anything sounds really off, let me know and I'll take another listen and fix it.
~Cheers

Trumpetgirl95,

Your changes differ in some ways from the sheet music. Whether Troup departed from the printed music in performance I don't know.

Here's my version from the sheet music. The only thing I've changed from that was to turn a couple of the V7s into IIm7 - V7.

Thanks for posting it and reminding me of this very hip tune.

P.S. Looks like our junior member from four years ago never came back.

Thanks Jerry. I didn't know that there was any sheet music for this. Is it from a book, cause I'd love to get my hands on it?
