Sandman please bring me my Dream! (or) Dream (or) the OUTRO.

Here is how I play Mister Sandman, using chords to include the melody line.

I play it fairly straight first time through then the 2nd time I like to play the 9ths down from G9 to E9 (see "please, please bring me")

It swings easily - but more of a slow "bluesy" tempo around 90 bpm.

It is one of the most famous songs of Tin-Pan-Alley, the little street in New York which was the centre of publishing in the 20th Century. It has been featured in more movies than any other song and recorded by all the great jazz singers - male and female.
