Hi,

I just stayed up for a while tonight listening to a Glenn Miller version of this song and did a first take on it. A friend if mine in Ohio does a great job on this tune on the C6th neck and I simply had to learn it. I only have a Pro-1 so my version is done for the E9th tuning and it's in the key of E flat. I'm sure some of the changes are incorrect but It can certainly point you in the right direction (I think). Let me know if you are interested and I will figure out either how to post it here, send it to you email version, or send it to you snail mail.

Pete

I worked this out a while back. Nothing too fancy, just you're basic melody arrangement.
