in the original, but is often missed out.

Nice work, thanks! I would have thought there were more chords, but listening to the Ella it is indeed that sparse. The last chord of the Recitative I like a Gaug better than the Edim. Plus at the end to get you back to the Gm in the instrumental. Also Bm7 Bb7 Am7 D Every moment of the year I’m hearing that Bm7 pretty strong. The Bb7 could be a Bbm7? Am7/D D7 G Gaug Because my love is near Am7/D xx0010 I like in the Outro sliding that Edim 2 5 8 11 8 5 2 LOL, old school! Thanks again!
