Em           D        C           C7   B7 
What good is melody, what good is music 
Em           D         C           C7   B7 
If it ain't possessin' something sweet 
Em           D       C            C7   B7 
It ain't the melody, it ain't the music  
        Em                   D        C        C7   B7 
There's something else that makes the tune complete 
   Em            B+          Em7            Em6 
It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing  
A7               D7               G6               C7  B7 
Doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat doo-wat 
   Em            B+            Em7          Em6 
It don't mean a thing, all you got to do is sing  
A7               D7               G6 
Doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat doo-wat 
Dm7          G7                C7M(9)             C7M 
It makes no diff'rence if that rhythm's sweet or hot 
Em7            A7     D7             C7   B7 
Just give that rhythm ev'rything you got 
   Em            B5+   Cdim   Em7   Cdim      Em6 
It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing  
A7               D7               G6               Gdim 
Doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat doo-wat 
A7               Cdim                  G6 
Doo-wat doo-wat, doo-wat doo-wat, doo-waaaa
