Music by Fats Waller and Harry Brooks

Time: 4/4
Key: Eb

Eb Cm7 Fm7 Bb9
No one to talk with, all by myself,
Eb G7+5(1) Ab Abm Ddim
No one to walk with, but I'm happy on the shelf.
Eb Gb7 Fm7 Bb9
Ain't misbehavin', I'm savin' my love for
Eb Edim F7(2) Bb7(3)
you.

Eb Cm7 Fm7 Bb9
I know for certain, the one I love
Eb G7+5 Ab Abm Ddim
I'm through with flirtin' it's just you I'm thinkin' of
Eb Gb7 Fm7 Bb9
Ain't misbehavin, I'm saving my love for
Eb Ab Bb7 G7
you.


Cm Ab7
Like Jack Horner, in the corner
F7 C7
Don't go no-where, what do I care
Bb Cm F7
Your kisses are worth waiting
Bb7 C7 F7 Bb7
for, be - lieve me


Eb Cm7 Fm7 Bb9
I don't stay out late, don't care to go
Eb G7+5(1) Ab Abm Ddim
I'm home about eight, just me and my ra - di-o
Eb Gb7 Fm7 Bb9
Ain't misbehavin', I'm savin' my love for
Eb C7 F7 Bb7 <- 1st time through
you.

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.
G7 3 5 3 4 3 3
Ab 4 6 6 5 4 4
Abm 4 6 6 4 4 4
Ddim x x 3 4 3 4 or x x 0 1 0 1
Gb7 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.
G7 3 5 3 4 3 3
Cm x 3 5 3 4 3
Ab7 4 6 4 5 4 4
C7 8 10 8 9 8 8 or x 3 5 3 5 3
