    Actually I was on here looking because that chart is wrong. A is correct, but B is the bridge, and should come after that next A section (the chorus). If you find a better chart, please message me or whatever. Just joined the forums tonight, so I'm still learning.

    I think you may be confusing the verse [V] with the first chorus [A]. Here's my own personal chart - key and chord changes courtesy of the Nat King Cole Trio c. 1944.

    Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby (C-) by Billy Austin & Louis Jordan (1943)

    I tried my hand at some editing, but did not rename the sections. There is a smushed chord that I don't know how t make clearer. And I don't know how to notate the end, there shouldn't be a repeat. I guess that ending 2 should be a coda, and the beginning should have a D.S. al coda.

    all of these seem to have the bridge too early. The form I have in the sheet music is
    A B C B

    Naturegirrrl,

    The versions above have the correct form, although there are discrepancies in some of the repeats and they don't all include the verse.

    This is an amalgam of the versions I see in a couple of books. The first 16 bars should be considered a verse, as this section never repeats.

    Verse = 16 bars
    A1 = 8 bars
    A2 = 8 bars
    B = 8 bars
    A3 = 12 bars

    The form A1 A2 B A3 always repeats twice, in the head and solos.

    Is You Is, or Is You Ain't-Rev JE - Austin and Jordan

    Cheers,
    Jer
