Based on a tab from "guitar techniques", dec 2000

To my surprise, i couldn't find any good tabs of this classic
jazz piece. Well luckily i have a good one for y'all.
My guitar teacher gave me this as practise, it's a very good
transcription for guitar because it covers both melody and
rhythm, which gives it a full sound.
But the version from the magazine is very staccato, and lacked
that jazzy groove that the original from the Porgy and Bess
musical has. So i made a tab of how i always play it; a slightly
different arrangement with some additional arpeggio's.

Play it slow and gently, with a jazzy shuffle groove.
I haven't heard any versions of the song that have a similar
arrangement, but just play it a couple of times untill you
get the feel of it.
Make sure you put extra accent in the melody line.
