willow trees are weeping

old folks and babies are sleeping

all alone I'm scheming

scheming to get you out here my dear, come

and tiptoe through the tulips with me

 Knee deep

In the moonlight will you pardon me?

Come tiptoe through the tulips with me

Can someone please suggest me a scale or five to use while soloing over this? Finding it super hard to find my jazz chops after being a blues pentatonic boy all my life.

Chords in the chorus are wrong - should be Bm G7 C Cm , not G C Cm
