Written in 1930 for the musical "Sweet and Low"

Recorded in 1931 by both annette hanshaw and rudy vallee

Rudy starts in Eb, goes D C Bb A 2x to modulate to D; does the song in D;

then modulates back up to Eb for solos and a bridg/vers after.

Annette does it in F#, and adds 2 additional vers at the end.

This is Annette's arrangement in Rudy's key, where I can sing it. No modulations.

Note the bass walkdown on the 2nd line of the vers I added. I like how it sounds.

G/B: x20033

Gm/Bb: x10033

D/A: x00232

D/F#: 200232 (I normally play the bass F# with my thumb).
