Lovable And Sweet Cifras

LOVABLE AND SWEET
 
Lyrics:Sidney Clare
Music: Oscar Levant
 
Notes:
This is based on the insanely chirpy Annette Hanshaw version of about 1929 with the doodly doos and so on
retained in the lyrics. The chords...well, they're an approximation. There's probably about 20 missing but
they're mostly jazzy passing chord fill sort of things. Perhaps someone slightly more jazz-enabled than I 
might
do an improvement at some stage. If you're trying to play along with the recording incidentally,
you'll need to transpose up 4 semi-tones. The below is just what I do and Annette sang a little higher than 
me.
Happy plunking.
