*I already know -- 'way too many chords. The objective here is NOT to try to play every one of them (which not even I try to do -- and I can squeeze a lot of chords into a song) but to have the RIGHT chord at the RIGHT place if your ear tells you that you DO need to change chords. With this song, that's a little trickier than others because the melody line is a bit on the unusual side. Recorded early enough in Sinatra's career that he was still taking second billing to the Tommy Dorsey orchestra, this one is seldom heard, but intriguing; it held down the number one spot on the charts for about four weeks.
