This is a beautiful arrangement that economizes on notes. This provides space for a very relaxed, open feel. If you listen to Chet's recording, you will hear that it is his delicate phrasing and subtle note anticipation that really makes this tune. The notes themselves are easy. The challenge is to bring out the feel of the song.

Chet uses a resonator guitar for the melody which gives the tune a Hawaiian feel, and also the sustain to help fill the open spaces.    c            %).38 %).38Acoustic Guitar     c          w  %).38 %).38Acoustic Guitar     c   1         %).38 %).38Strings  Guitar     c   X         %).38                        
