A Night In Tunisia
The moon is the same moon above you
Aglow with its cool evening light
But shining at night in Tunisia
Never does it shine so bright

The stars are aglow in the heavens
But only the wise understand
That shining at night in Tunisia
They guide you through the desert sand

Words fail to tell a tale
Too exotic to be told
Each night's a deeper night
In a world, ages old

The cares of the day seem to vanish
The ending of day brings release
Each wonderful night in Tunisia
Where the nights are filled with peace

The moon is the same moon above you
Aglow with its cool evening light
But shining at night in Tunisia
Never does it shine so bright

The stars are aglow in the heavens
But only the wise understand
That shining at night in Tunisia
They guide you through the desert sand

Nice tone, great for when I get bored of just playing with metronome

[violinguitarduo]

The moon is the same moon above you
A glow in its cool evening light
The stars are aglow in Tunisia
Never does it shine so bright
The cares of the days seem to vanish
The ending of day brings release
Each wonderful night in Tunisia
Where the nights are filled with peace.
The stars are aglow in heavens
But only the wise understand
That shining tonight in Tunisia
They guide you through descent sand
And words fail to tell a tale exoticto be taid
Each night's a deeper night in a worldages old
The cares of the world seem to vanish
The ending of day brings release
Each wonderful night in Tunisia
Where the nights are filled with peace.

Hello, I'm wondering if I can use this backing track for an audition, and where can I get it?

For a disco version by Chaka Khan :

A long time ago in the '40s
Dizzy and Bird gave us this song
They called it "A Night in Tunisia"
And the melody still lingers on

[Verse 1]
It was new and very strange
Blew the squares right off the stage
Few could play along
But the melody still lingers on
Max and Miles to name just two
Together they grew
The music was young and strong
And the melody still lingers on

[Bridge]
They paved the way for generations
From Coltrane to Stevie
No one could stop the winds of change
Without them, where would we be?

[Verse 2]
The Duke and the Prez were there before
The past you can't ignore
The torch is lit, we'll keep the flame
And the melody remains the same

[Scatting]
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
The Duke and the Prez were there before
The past you can't ignore
The torch is lit, we'll keep the flame
And the melody remains the same

[Scatting]
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
A long time ago in the '40s
Dizzy and Bird gave us this song
They called it "A Night in Tunisia"
And the melody still lingers on
