MAMA COCO

Friends, my objective here and with all the Vannelli charts
I have submitted is to have posted an accurate transcription
of his music for all of us to enjoy. If anyone feels they have a
better chord, note, passage, lyric--please feel
free to contact me at the Email address below,
and the necessary changes will be made! Since I am
a member of this site, it is possible for me to edit
 any of these charts.



  A jazzy early Gino entry, originally somewhat of a novelty number
which probably appealed more to the non-fans than to the Gino die-hards.
The chords here are fairly close to the original recording, but one could
 have some fun here and improvise interchange 13th's with aug9th etc.,
 or leave them out altogether. In other words, it's fun song to have fun with.
