This is a Billie Holiday song that I know mostly from the Blood Sweat & Tears version. I started with the chords for the BS&T version on Ultimate Guitar Tab Archive, and there's a couple little bits of their arrangement that I used. But then I tried within that to make it sound more bluesy, less like BS&T.

I'm playing a Martin Type 2 soprano from the 1920s that was my main instrument from 1976 to 1995. It's seen some wear and tear because it's been played a LOT. I had to have the bridge replaced in the mid-'80s, so it's not a Martin bridge.
