I'd be more willing to bet it's the old Duke Ellington/Juan Tizol tune.
Written originally in F minor, you just gotta be hip to 7b9 chords to play this tune, or the melody makes no logical sense.
Here's the chords, anyway, jtvon:
<font size="3" face="monospace"><pre>
|C7b9 | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
|F- | | | |
(repeat)
|F7 | | | |
|Bb7 | | | |
|Eb7 | | | |
|Ab | |Gh.d.| |
|C7b9 | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
|F- | | | |
</pre></font>
h.d. means Half-diminished. (which is also commonly called "minor 7th flat 5")
jtvon, Are you wanting to play it on E9 or C6 ?
Hope this gets you started. This tune is a great example of why people said Ellington was generations ahead of his time, harmonically. It's the 100th anniversary of Duke's birth this year (1899). Some of us still haven't caught up to him

I've never tabbed it out, but this is the chart I give to the band. It's a very popular instrumental, especially if you throw in a drum solo!
