Forget Me Not


"Forget Me Not" by Patrice Rushen There are just two differently-chorded parts to this song: 1. F#m7 F#m7 Dm7 Dm7 Em Em C#m7 C#m7 sending you for-get me nots --------------------------------------------------- Dm7 Dm7 Bm7 Bm7 g#m7b5 g#m7b5 C#7#9 C#7#9 to help me to re-mem - ber --------------------------------------------------- 2. --------------------------------------------------- Dm7 Dm7 Dm7 Dm7 Bm7 Bm7 Em Em those were the ti-imes we had --------------------------------------------------- F#m7 F#m7 F#m7 F#m7 F#m7 F#m7 F#m7 sharing a joy that we tho-ught wo-uld la-ast --------------------------------------------------- Keep the chords beating on even 8ths, and sing the lyrics approximately according to their spacial placement here. Also, listening to the song would be extremely helpful. Here are the chords, as I've figured them. Number on the bottom indicates the fret, "X" means "don't play that string", number indicate corresponding finger. Omit some notes, exchange barres for fingertips, etc -- use free- form. Convention says "minor chord letters in lower case, major chord letters in upper case". the letter "b" means "flat". f#m7 - f sharp minor 7 |---1--|------|------| |---1--|---2--|------| |---1--|------|------| |---1--|------|---3--| |---1--|------|------| |------|------|------|X 9 DM7 - D major 7 |---1--|------|------| |---1--|------|---4--| |---1--|---2--|------| |---1--|------|---3--| |---1--|------|------| |------|------|------|X 5 Em - E major |---1--|------|------| |---1--|------|---3--| |---1--|------|---3--| |---1--|------|---3--| |---1--|------|------| |------|------|------|X 7 c#m7 - c sharp minor 7 |---1--|------|------| |---1--|---2--|------| |---1--|------|------| |---1--|------|---3--| |---1--|------|------| |------|------|------|X 4 bm7 - b minor 7 |---1--|------|------| |---1--|------|------| |---1--|------|------| |---1--|------|------| |---1--|------|---3--| |---1--|------|------| 7 g#m7b5 - g sharp minor 7 flat 5 |------|------|------|X |---1--|------|------| |------|---4--|------| |------|---3--|------| |------|------|------|X |------|---2--|------| 3 C#7#9 - C sharp 7 sharp 9 |------|------|------|X |------|------|---4--| |------|---3--|------| |---1--|------|------| |------|---2--|------| |------|------|------|X 3 Jazz up the rhythm -- the aforementioned "even 8th"s are just for demonstration purposes.
