Fine tab, thanks for putting it up! One minor suggestion for the instrumental part and its (partly) chromatic bass line. To me this sounds fine: | Bb Cm7 | Dbdim7 Bb/D | | C Dm7 | Ebdim7 C/E | | D Em7 | Fdim7 D/F# | Dbdim7 x-4-5-3-5-x Bb/D x-x-0-3-3-1 Ebdim7 x-x-1-2-1-2 C/E x-x-2-0-1-0 Fdim7 x-x-3-4-3-4 D/F# x-x-4-2-3-2 What do you say?
