Hello all! Here's my transcription of Funny [But I Still Love You], a hit by Ray Charles.
As usual, I strongly recommend listening to the original song in order to pick up the rhythm
[the song is in 6/8 and Ray's piano rolls over the chords, but you can figure out your own patterns].
As usual, I've written the fingerings that I use, but feel free to change any of them. The song starts
with a suspended Bb7[#5] chord which you should let ring before starting to sing. At the end of the bridge
[and also during the solo vamp, specially during the solo vamp], the chord Ab/Bb [the one played with the
word "alone"] can be substituted for a Emaj7, which sounds much more shiny.
And as always, message me for inquiries and/or mistakes and HAPPY PLAYING!
