For years Ive admired solo guitar versions of this but when you look it up the chords are impossible, in a cryptic key. Heres a lead sheet that makes is possible, in the key of C. [By divine grace of the Muse, it is also in my voice range--your results may vary.] Theyre not all folk chords, but you can get them with a few tries.

Not quite what I was looking for, but found after seeing the more complicated version of Nat King Coles, I found this was closer to my abilities. It just feels like more passing chords could have been included in places. But using Mr. Coles version as a reference, I was able to add what I needed.

The chords could have been more complex to provide the original sound of the song. Yet, if played as written, it as quite good.

I like it overall, I used it to make this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qobJKiTyg0. However, there are some chord errors. Measures 2, 10, & 26, the second chord of the measure should be Am7, instead of G7. Measure 7, I think an Fm works better as the second chord instead of Bb9. Lastly, measure 17 at the bridge, I believe the second chord works better with G in the base, so C7/G. Thanks.
