my arrangements [A] is I write them out [Bb] when I [Ab] create them.

Here's a quick look at How High the Moon. _ _
I'm going to play the arrangement as it's written.
_ The thing with my arrangements [A] is I write them out [Bb] when I [Ab] create them. _
_ Either make them up [Gb] or I _ [Ab] copy other people's arrangements
[Gm] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ [G] or I maybe take part [G] of another arrangement.
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ Anyways, often what I've created in the beginning _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] is what I start with
but then over time as I get more comfortable with the tune
it evolves into something slightly different.
So I'm going to play it as written but this isn't_
It's somewhat of an exercise for me because I have to _ represent it as it is on the paper. _ _ _ _ _ _
But here it is as it is on the paper.
[D] _
_ _ [A] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _

[B] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [F] What would I say about it?
There's some passing [Bb] stuff.
_ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ [F] _ _ [Db] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ [E] _ _ [C] _ _ [Am] _ _
_ [C] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [Abm] _ _ [B] _ _ [Ab] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] When we have this 6th string root [Gb] dominant _ [A] 9sus4 like the first [D] chord.
_ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [G] You could flat the 9 too.
This note right here you could play it a half step lower.
First _ _ _ _ string you have dominant [Ab] 9, I'm sorry dominant _ _ 7sus4 flat [D] 9. _
[Cm] _ It's rather pretty if I [Ab] did that instead.
On the first line here we've [Am] got _ _ _ [Ab] Db9sus4 and then at the end of that line we have _ _ C9sus4.
Wherever that chord occurs _ [Bb] you _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ [E] _ _ [C] _ _ could instead of playing like D9sus4 you [Cm] could_ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [Cm] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [Cm] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Db] _ _
[C] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [C] Here on the third line _ Am7 I have a [A] bass note in it.
I have it written like [Am] this.
_ _ [B] Sometimes I play it just as on the inner 4 [E] strings. _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ Sometimes I play that Am7 like [Gb] that but if I want the bass note [Am] I might_ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
Here [A] after the first ending _ [Em] we _
[C] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ come to A half diminished _ which [Abm] shows a bass note. _
_ [A] _ _ Sometimes I'll leave that out. _ _
If I want to hear the bass note [Eb] _ here's the end of the second line [Gm] Ebmaj7.
_ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ [F] There's hearing the bass [Eb] note on the A.
Sometimes [Eb] I'll leave it out.
_ Ebmaj7.
_ [Em] _ _
It's a little [Bbm] bit more balanced that way but maybe [Eb] _
[Ab] depending on_
_ [Gm] _ _ _ [A] _
[E] On the [G] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb]
third line Am7 I'll put the bass in [Am] C9sus4. _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [Bb] _
_ [E] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ It [N] starts at the beginning _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ here and then the first time you take the first ending,
play to the repeat [B] sign, _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ go here [G] and then jump down
