Round Midnight  -   Thelonious Monk
                 -----------------------------------------------

arranged by Howard Wright
                                   H.Wright@astro.cf.ac.uk





I worked out these chords by listening to two versions of the song
I've got - one with Monk playing solo at the piano, and another with
him and drums, bass, horns etc.

The two versions aren't exactly the same - but I've tried to find
the common ground between them to get a 'basic' arrangement.

You can play around with the chords, jazzing them up a bit, but the ones
I'll give at the start are the 'basics'.

Within the versions I've got, there's a lot of variation in the chords.
Especially Monk's playing at the piano - he seems to love adding flat
5ths to every other chord !!!

In fact, if you want to increase the 'Monk factor', instead of playing
straight 7ths, play 7-5 chords instead.

E.g in the intro chords instead of :  Am7-5   D7    Gm7-5   C7  etc

You could play :  Am7-5   D7-5    Gm7-5   C7-5







Intro :

G--13--------------------------------------11---10----8h9---------
D--------------------------------------------------------------

Verse 2 :
----------

Almost exactly the same - but play Gbmaj7 in the 3rd line
instead of Ebm*



Ebm  Ebm/D  Ebm/Db   Cm6    Abm7  Db7

Ebm6      Bm7  E7  Bbm7  Eb7

Abm7   Db9  Gbmaj7   Ab7-5

Cm7-5   F7   Bb7-5







One small variation you can try is on the second line of chords.
Instead of staying on Ebm6 then going to Bm7, you could try this :

Ebm6   Ab7   Bm7 E7 Bbm7 Eb7



The rest of the song repeats these chord changes - but breaks them up a bit
and varies them as the solos go over the top.
