What a great tune. When I play it solo guitar, I use subs to highlight
the chromaticism in the melody. For first 4 measures, I use:
D13 Ab9 G9 Db7|C7 F#7#9 Fmaj7 | B13 F9 E9 Bb7| A7 Eb7#9 Dm7|
The chords are voiced so that the melody is on the second string, and I
find the root movement alternating tritones with chromaticism enjoyable
to play and hear.
