Does anyone know the chords to the song Sinnerman by Nina Simone? Thanks Clementine

I don't know if Nina wrote this one, or if it is the one she sang, but here is one version from memory.

For the rest of the words consult "Sinner Man" in the DT database. A slightly different version -- there are three in there.

Hi Clementine, my darling. If you go to the search box on the upper right hand corner of this page & enter sinner, you'll come up with a couple verisons of this & I believe one is very close (from a dusty memory) to Nina Simone's way. Barry

The first time I heard this was when watching an old flick (when I was young) & Humpry Bogart sang a couple of lines at the end. Barry
