A great tune by Jimmy McHugh and Dorothy Fields.

Some changes I use are:

C Am7 | Dm7 G7 | Dm7 G7 | Bdim7/C,C (B7)|
Em7 Ebdim7 | Dm7 A7 | Dm7 G7 | Em7,A7 Dm7,G7 |
C Am7 | Dm7 G7 | Dm7 G7 | Bdim7/C,C (B7)|
Em7 Ebdim7 | Dm7 A7 | Dm7 G7 | C A7 |
Dm7 G7 | Em7 A7 | Dm7 G7 | C |
F#m7b5 B7 | Em7 A7 | Am7 D7 | Dm7 G7 |
C Am7 | Dm7 G7 | Dm7 G7 | Bdim7/C,C (B7)|
Em7 Ebdim7 | Dm7 A7 | Dm7 G7 | C

Lots of other things are possible.

Try for example in measures 1,2

C Ab7 | G7sus G7 |

I like the B7 I put in parenthesis in several places
though it's a somewhat optional change.

enjoy.
