[Dixielandjazz] ACE IN THE HOLE

[Stephen Barbone]

Here are the chords Tex Wyndham uses and he would be as accurate as
anyone, since he would have likely transcribed them from the original
sheet music.  Key of F  (Others may use Db7 for bars 2, 4, 18 & 20 in
the verse)

Verse
F / Fdim / F / Fdim /
F / D7 / Gm-D7 / Gm /
Gm-D7 / Gm / Gm-D7 / Gm /
G7 / G7 / C7 / C7 /
F / Fdim / F / Fdim /
F / D7 / Gm-D7 / Gm /
G7 / C / G7 / C

Chorus
F / F / G7 / G7 /
C7 / C7 / F / F /
G7 / G7 / G7 / G7 /
G7 / G7 / C7 / C7 /

Notes:

Alternate Chords Chorus bars 3-4  and 23- 24

And alternate ending before bridge bars 7-8
F-Cdim / C7

Does one have to be faithful to the composer? Ah, philosophy. Depends
upon your point of view, but most folks are not so take your choice, you
are the bandleader.  :-)

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
