CECIL GANT - Midnight On Central Avenue I wrote down the chord structure by ear, I think it is quite correct. This version which is tabbed here is in C major, though many of the recordings of this song are in Eb major (you can use the tune up option on this site) This song consists of a 12-bar blues instrumental in the beginning which is alternated with an AABA 8-bar jazz-blues chorus for the singing. The order goes as follows: 12-bar-blues, AABA, 12-bar-blues, 12-bar-blues, AABA Part A: | C | C7 | F | Fm | | C | Dm7 G6 | C Am7 | Dm7 G6 | Part B: | C | F | F | C | | C | Am7 | Dm7 | G6 | --------------------------------------------------------------------- 12-bar blues chorus C C7 When it's midnight on central avenue, F Fm7 the cats really jump like mad, C Dm7 G6 C Am7 Dm7 G6 everybody knows just where to go, sweetheart. C C7 When it's midnight on central avenue, F Fm7 no one notices the time, C Dm7 G6 C Am7 Dm7 G6 just jive and get high, to ease their trouble in mind.
