Just one more chance to prove it's you a-lone I care for
Just one more night to taste the kisses that en chant me
each night I gave a little prayer for just one more chance.....................
I'd want no others if you'd grant me
just one more chance............................
I've learned the meaning of re - pentance, now you're the jury at my trial
I know that I should serve my sentence, still I'm hoping all the while, you'll give>>>>me
Just one more word I said that I was glad to start out
but now I'm back to cry my heart out, for just one more chance.....................................
I understand this intricately syncopated little song was written and first performed in 1931. Its collaborators were Arthur Johnston and Sam Coslow and it was given to Billie Holiday to launch. Her expressive rather lazy, tempo and slightly 'off' pitch blusey notes were exactly right for its sentiment and it was immediately taken up by the Jazz afficianados of New York clubland. It has been included in the repetoire of most Jazz performers ever since - but none have captured Lady Day's sense of devastating loss in her original recording. You can decide for yourself here:

Chance
Notes about this arrangement:
1. Notice the closed volta brackets with 2. at left end.
These indicate that you must play/sing their contents in the 2 beats of the associated chord/s.
2, The closed bracket marked by 3. is a triplet = 3 sounds in the one beat!
3, I have marked each beat in the measures where you might have trouble with the rhythm.
4, The open ended brackets indicate the line you play at end of first passage ie 1. = to go into a turn around and 2. = to end the passage.
5, Where you see these >>>> you slide from the D13 to the B7.

let me know if you see any problems with the arrangement and I will rectify them (if I can!)
