Skylark - Hoagy Carmichael

[WanderingMinstrel]

One of my all-time favorite songs. This version is closer to Hoagy's original. Less jazzy. More wistful. No diss intended when I redo a song or post an alternate. I'm an occasional songwriter and tend to gravitate towards a composer's original harmonic intent whenever possible. Just a personal preference.

Skylark 1 - Carmichael/Mercer
Dave Hazeltine's take on this tune. Had to leave a couple of chords out that were on the "and" of a beat. First chord is my sub. It's hard to put a Hazeltine arrangement on iReal because of all his rhythmic devices.
