I Got Rhythm - George Gershwin

I Got Rhythm

View chords used in this chart
These are the "Rhythm Changes" in C and in open position, which makes them
more difficult. With practice they get easier and this is a great key for
baritone voices. They sound a little too fat for jazz, but oh well! This is
just the Chorus.
