No more.
Okay, a couple of admissions here. First, this song is about as over-arranged as it gets, and I already know that. Of course it can be played much more simply.
Second, fundamentally 12-bar-blues-style songs are systematically excluded from this site, and many of you have personally received a request refusal because the song you asked for was 12-bar blues. (For the record, I'll stick to those guns.) I ignored my own rule here because of the version this chart was based upon: when Julie London sang this song, the melody notes practically defined the chords I'm using here. Hearing her sing it, I could come up with a chord chart which could be played by a fingerstyle rhythm guitarist and produce a song that was recognizeable to a listener, even without a vocal.
