Chords for Mr. Magic (Tutorial by Grover Washington Jr)

_ _ _ Alright, alright, we're going back to the key of E flat,
Relic of mine, C, C minor, you know, let's go to Mr.
Magic.
_ _ Uh, real simple song by Grover Washington and others.
Great jazz song everybody plays.
And uh, I'm gonna give you a [Cm] way to play this one. _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ So what we gonna do, _ spelled out, right hand G, [Eb]
B [Cm] flat, C, E flat.
_ [B] [C] So your bass line is C, C, C, [Fm] to your F, [N] walk it up. _
That's an A, B flat, B, C.
_ [Cm] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ And then when we go to that F, right hand, F, A, C, E flat.
_ _ _ _ So [B] now you know the bass, you [Gm] know.
So that's pretty much the whole, [C] the format of that part.
And uh, another thing you can [B] do, if you don't want to play it that way,
and you got your bass player, you can always use that E flat [Eb] major 7.
_ _ _ Uh, you don't do that with your left hand, you can,
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
what I'm doing right there is a B flat, D, and an E flat.
_ _ _ [D] You're just dropping your second finger to the A, [Eb] _ _ keeping it [D] rest.
_ [B]
Cause if you do that, and if [G] you don't have nobody else playing with you,
you can do it like this.
[Eb] _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ [Eb] _ _
[Cm] _ [Am] Especially if you have [N] your keyboard split, that way you know your bass player got you [Eb] on that.
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[Bb] So what that [F] is, that's an F, E flat, and [Gm] then D, C, then B flat, A.
[Eb] _ Tap your A, [Ebm] _ [Am] walk it back up from the [Eb] A to the B flat to the C.
So I'm going to do that slow. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ So you know [C] that's the whole part until you go to _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ the_
[Fm] _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ So right there, let's do a [Bbm] B flat and an F, and I [Fm] lift.
Right hand, we got an A flat, C, F. _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
Back to your minor.
[Cm] _ Put your E flat major 7 with your C on the bass.
Then we're going to _ [Ab] go_
[Cm] _

_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] Like that.
_ [Bbm] _ _ _
[Eb] That's when we take that D flat major [Bbm] 7. _

_ _ Add another A flat with your pinky if you want to.
B flat, F, and an F.
_ [Cm] We _ _ just drop that down.
[Ab] Thumb and [Cm] our pinky.
Keep the rest of the chord.
_ _ [Ab] _ _ Then you go to A flat.
_ Right hand, G, C, E flat, which is a C minor, and add an F and a G.

A flat.
_ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Eb] _
