Chord Charts

“Ask Me Now” is a classic ballad written by Thelonius Monk.

The tune tends to center around the key of Db major, however, there is no key indicated on the chord charts due to the many other key centers it explores. There is a lot of chromatic movement throughout the form and it has a beautiful melody.
