All of Me Willie Nelson
This isn't exactly the Willie Nelson version, its more the standard jazz version,
which Willie is playing. If you like this stuff you should get the "Real Vocal
Book Volume I, Low Voice", which is full of these great songs.
The chords are all really common in jazz songs, and I'm using the regular jazz
forms of them. You could of course substitute for first position non barre chords
if you'd like. Also, you can substitute vanilla versions of the 6th chords if you
have to (for example sub a C for a C6, and a Cm for a Cm6), but you'll be missing
a bunch of the flavor, so its worth learning these forms if they're new to you,
especially since they're used all the time in jazz.
And chords in parenthesis means they're optional.
A7 = 575855 or 5x565x

Verse 1:
[G6]All of me, why not take a[B7]ll of me
[E7]Can't you see, I'm no good wi[Am7]thout you
[B7]Take my arms I won't [Em7]lose them
[A7]Take my lips I'll never[Am7] use t[D7]hem
[G6]Your good bye, left me with e[B7]yes that cry
[E7]And I know that I'm no good wit[Am7]hout you
[C6]You took the p[Cm6]art that o[Gmaj7]nce wa[(Bm7b5)]s my hea[E7]rt
So [Am7]why not take [D7]all of [G6]me
(Turnaround: Bbdim7 Am7 D7)
(Optional solo over the chords from the full verse)
(Repeat verse 1)
Nice ending:
So [Am7]why not take [D7]all of[Bm7b5] me[E7]
Am7 D7 G6 or x-10-99-10-10
So why not take all of me
