Good tab! To make it swing even more, modulate the Dmaj that starts the verses to Dmaj7, to D6 and then keep it on Dmaj7. That way you add the familiar melody to the groove!

Good work.. Most comments here are absolutely right concerning changes. I have the original sheet music for this song which is in the key of C; transposed into key of D; is as follows:
D Dmaj7 D6 D D6 D#dim7
