Version for bass players |

The melody of this nice little jazzy tune is quite simple, the chords (27!, if I counted right) on the other hand are a bit more of a challenge. But it's a good exercise for building up your chord repertoire. The original keys of the song are Bb, Eb and C major (the song modulates two times). I transposed it to the more guitar friendly keys of G, C and A major (three half notes down). If you want to play with the original recording put the capo on the 3rd fret. Beside this keychanges I kept the 'architecture' of the song as it was when recorded by The Manhattan Transfer.

Original:    • The Manhattan Transfer - Chanson D'Amour (...  

CHANSON D'AMOUR (French for 'Love Song') is a popular song written by Wayne Shanklin. A 1977 recording by The Manhattan Transfer was an international hit, reaching number one on the UK Singles Chart.

The Manhattan Transfer recorded "Chanson D'Amour" for their 1976 Richard Perry-produced album Coming Out. The song came to the group's producer, Richard Perry's, attention as a demo on cassette. The group and Richard listened, and immediately decided to record the song. Janis Siegel sang the lead in an Edith Piaf style, and it was recorded in one take.

Overlooked in the United States on its single release, the Manhattan Transfer's version of "Chanson D'Amour" became a European hit, making the charts in France at the start of 1977 to peak there at #8: the track subsequently became a hit in Germany (#20), the Netherlands (#6), Norway (#1 for two weeks) and Switzerland (#6). In the English-speaking world, "Chanson D'Amour" afforded the Manhattan Transfer a chart-topping hit, reaching #1 in March 1977 in both the UK – for three weeks – and Ireland. It was also a hit in Australia (#9), New Zealand (#14) and South Africa (#14). "Chanson D'Amour" proved to be the Manhattan Transfer's most widespread international success, despite being only moderately successful in the group's native United States, where the track registered on Easy Listening chart in Billboard at #16.
