I've been playing "Lulu's Back in Town" a la Fats Waller but I'd also like
to play the verse part, which I can't find the chords to. It's the part
with the lyrics "Where's that careless chambermaid..." etc. If anyone can
tell me the chord sequence for the verse, I would very much appreciate it.
I already have the chorus (Gotta get my old tuxedo pressed etc.) it's just
the verse that I am searching for.
