The changes on one popular recording of the tune are slightly different...

Instead of the B-flat diminished chords in bars 7 and 8 and 23 and 24, you have one bar of B-flat minor 7, and one bar of E-flat 7, making a neat "sidestep".

Also, bars 11 and 12 are simply G major 7, instead of the 2-5-1.

Also, the whole thing begins in A-flat, and then shifts up to B-flat. But, of course, you're going the learn the tune in all twelve keys, aren't you?
