I am sure that Scott can tell you everything about Caravan; going by heart, here are the chords:
Verse: C7 > Fm
Chorus: F7 (9) > Bb7 > Eb9 > Ab > C7

Of course, like in all jazz tunes, these chords lend themselves to various substitutions (especially the 7th can become a 9th or 13th).

Hi Kn Fan, I have three midi files of Caravan if that will help. I might also have that song in KN format on one of the 20 for 1 zip files I was sending out until recently.

I agree with the 'Dreamer' chords.

btw: some chord substitution possibiliies include:

1) Substituting the last 4 bars of the verse with:

| Fm - Bb13 | Eb9 - Ab13 | Db9 - C7#9#5 | Fm69 |

2) Adding a Db7 in the verse, moving back and forth between C7 & Db7 .

Hello

I like to use Gdim intead of C7 for the first chord. This is what was used in the old bootleg fake books, and I've grown to love the kind of spooky sound of the Gdim.

Enjoy

Thanks all for your replies....one of these days, after I get my stuff properly connected (and getting a new comp at home, after fixing my old virus-infected one) I'll post my music (promise).

Bill,
You can send me the Caravan to my email address (aznjive@hotmail.com), but don't send the whole thing, you gonna bust my inbox...
