Ain't Misbehavin' Music by Fats Waller and Harry Brooks Words by Andy Razaf
Time: 4/4 Key: Eb
No one to talk with, all by myself,
No one to walk with, but I'm happy on the shelf.
Ain't misbehavin', I'm savin' my love for
you.
I know for certain, the one I love
I'm through with flirtin' it's just you I'm thinkin' of
Ain't misbehavin, I'm saving my love for
you.
Like Jack Horner, in the corner
Don't go no-where, what do I care
Your kisses are worth waiting
for, be - lieve me
I don't stay out late, don't care to go
I'm home about eight, just me and my ra - di-o
Ain't misbehavin', I'm savin' my love for Eb C7 F7 Bb7 :- 1st time through you.
Repeat from beginning.
Eb Bb7 Eb :- 2nd time through you.
Chords and substitutions:
Eb: x 6 5 3 4 3 Cm7: x 3 5 3 4 3 or x x 1 3 1 3 Fm7: 1 3 1 1 4 1 Bb9 x 1 0 1 1 1 or x 3 3 3 3 4 G7+5 x x 1 0 0 1 (1) G7+5 sounds awkward in a solo. I substitute G7. It's not technically correct. I'm not a purist. 3 5 3 4 3 3 4 6 6 5 4 4 4 6 6 4 4 4 Ddim x x 3 4 3 4 or x x 0 1 0 1 2 4 2 3 2 2 Edim x x 2 3 2 3 F7 1 3 1 2 1 1 (2) This should be a 9th, but the voice holds the 9th. Play F7 for accompaniment or solo. Bb7 x 1 3 1 3 1 (3) This is not in the original. But in a solo it resolves better than the F7. 3 5 3 4 3 3 Cm x 3 5 3 4 3 4 6 4 5 4 4 C7 8 10 8 9 8 8 or x 3 5 3 5 3
