Chords for Sue Me - Nathan Lane and Faith Prince - Guys and Dolls

Usually that that song is done as sort of a throwaway number for Nathan and Adelaide and
_ Jerry and Nathan and I kind of found a whole scene within the three verses that go on in Sumi and _ _ _ _
_ Jerry sort of gave us certain inflections, [Bb] and I sing the same end of the verse three times
[C] When I think of the time gone by and I think of [N] the way I try I could honestly die
And usually it's played all the same and I've tried to find three different responses
with the same lyric and you can do the a little bit more than _ _ _
_ _ Just like we melodramatic _
Anything you know don't be afraid and don't be afraid to you can push it a little bit in your voice
_ _ Don't worry, it won't be too much since we can't see you it really needs that Jerry talks about it like passing the ball
He always says make sure you're passing the ball, and he loves when you're passing the ball
And we do a lot of that and but between he and Nathan and I I mean it's been
It's been a great trio.
It's funny Nathan.
I don't really
_ Socialize much we don't go out a lot together
Yeah, you know but once we hit the theater.
It's like
_ _ The boundaries of what we are we're very tender with each other.
We're very loving we don't talk about the work a lot
We just do it
I'm very happy when people tell me that that there's a
real sort of magical chemistry with the two of us because and that they've believed that this has been a
Wanna a long-term 14 year relationship and that they're it's they're very
Adult and sort of it's sort of sexy and and funny and and so and how deeply they the two

_ _ _ [Db] _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
That's Michael Starobin and he's the one who's coordinating all the orchestration
So he goes out there particularly when you make a change if you make a cut for example
You take 20 [A] bars out of 40 bars or whatever
[D] A lot of these players [G] double for example the wind players
[D] You might have [G] a player who plays four or five different [Gm] instruments and the orchestrations [Ab] in this case could be very [D] cleverly written
So that the [Eb] guy has time to play.
[F] Let's say he's playing on a clarinet
He has four measures to put down the [Ebm] clarinet pick up a saxophone
_ [Bb] _ _ _ But now if you cut [Gbm] those four measures out [Bm] for musical reasons
And you're not aware that that cut may cause you a big [E] problem
You may suddenly have lost that [Db] pause where the player has a chance to put down this to pick up another one
And sometimes also for a recording you'll find that some orchestration is a little overwritten and you want to thin it out a little bit
reinforcing melodies and the vocal lines [Eb] that sort of thing and and a
_ Good orchestrator like Starobin is just sensational that sort of thing.
They know exactly what to do
