🎼 Sheet Music
Find Lead Sheet on Sheet Music Direct (PDF)Harmonic Highlights
- The A-section centers on a classic I-ii-V-I turnaround (Fmaj7-Gm7-C7) typical of 32-bar AABA song forms.
- A secondary ii-V (Cm7-F7) leads to the subdominant (Bbmaj7), followed by a bVII7 “backdoor” dominant (Eb7) that resolves back to F major.
- The bridge features a sudden tertiary modulation to A major (the major III), utilizing sequential ii-V-I progressions (Bm7-E7-Amaj7) before returning to the home key.
Improvisation Focus
Navigating the rapid tonal shift from F major to A major and back during the bridge transition.
Difficulty Rating
3/5. The A-sections are beginner-friendly diatonic swing, but the bridge’s abrupt modulation to a distant key requires intermediate harmonic targeting.
