My simple chord arrangement:

(Latin)||:CMaj7/CMaj7/Eb9/Eb9/D9/Db9/Cmaj7/Cmaj7:|| (Swing) /Dm7/G7/C6/C6/Fm7/Bb7/Ebmaj7/Dm7G7/ (Latin) |CMaj7/CMaj7/Eb9/Eb9/D9/Db9/Cmaj7/Cmaj7/ (Swing)/Dm7/E7/Am7/B7/Em7/Dm7G7/C6/C6|

The verse has a Latin beat, generally played as a Bossa, but that didn't exist at the time the song was written, so my guess is that it was originally a rhumba--the bridge is a swing beat--

There is on measure between each slash note the repeat on the first verse--I actually like to play a circle of 4ths thing from the B7 measure that would go /F#m7b5B7/em7A7/Dm7G7/C6/C6\ but that is a matter of taste--some people like to play turn arounds at the ends of the phrases, but I think that gets to be too much--
