Dialogue - Intro
Oh, they're terrible. They're so terrible.
[C#maj7] [G#m7]
Do you [Am7]want them to run through it [C#maj7]again?
No, [Gmaj7]no. [Dm7]You see, it wouldn't be so bad if they could sing.
They certainly can't dance.
Now, let's just move on. We have a lot to do.
Let's do rain.
Dialogue - Sick Call
[G#7/C]We [Fmaj7]can't.
Why?
I forgot to tell you Lionel called in sick.
Yes.
Pendicitis.
A pendicitis? What are you doing to me?
He'll miss the opening. This is the most important number in the show.
Dialogue - Billy
[Dm7]Can [C7]someone else sing it?
[C#maj7]What about Billy? He's got a good voice.
Who is this?
[G#7]He used [Fmaj7]to be the drummer in a really good band, and when the singer left, he took over.
Let me ask you a question. [G#maj7][D#m7]How good can he be if he's back playing drums again?
Well, it's only the [A#maj7/A]one song. [Cmaj7][C#maj7]What have we got to lose? [G]You might as well give him a shot.
It's good. It's good. Wait, wait. [Fm]If he's going to sing, who's going to play the drums?
What about Chester?
Who is that?
[Gm]
Okay, okay. Let's get on [G#]with it.
Dialogue - Beauregard
[C]
I swear, I don't believe I see you in these parts again, Mr. Beauregard.
[G#7]Well, y 'all know this [Fmaj7]war has changed many a man's anticipations, ma 'am.
Terrible!
[D#m][Fmaj7]Or you said you could act.
You never said I could act. He said I could sing.
I'll play the song.

Thank you.
Let's cut the number.
I thought you said this was the big number in the show.
Yeah, the big moments.
Where the dancing girls? They were good.
Compared to this, they were good.
This was not good.

Who?
Lamont.

The color on the guitar is pretty good.
