Sweet Lotus Blossom. My version. I divided all the original V chords into ii-V chords.
A YouTube video has some interesting information about the tune in the notes.

Bob,
Whatever you did, it works for me now.
I like your key better, Ab major. It's more resonant than my C major.
I'd put ∆7 on the major chords and -7 on the minor chords. Also, the turnaround is written as "Eb-." I'm sure you mean Eb7.
Cheers,
Jer
Ebb Tide - Robert Maxwell, Carl Sigman
This was written as a slow ballad in 1953, and was recorded that way by numerous artists.

There are differing opinions about slash chords. My personal taste is that slash chords are best reserved for when either a bass note is unrelated to the chord or...
This is my version of this great tune.
The Intro, Outro, and A sections are over a D pedal. The alternate chords are played on the melody notes.

Yes, true.
But someone reading the music will scan it back looking for the forwarding Coda sign.

Hoagy Carmichael wrote Baltimore Oriole in 1942, and it quickly became his personal favorite of all his compositions. It was used as the subtle background music in the 1944 film To Have and Have Not.
My reharm is minimal, mostly adding passing chords to create more variety in the tone colors...
