CECIL GANT - Midnight On Central Avenue

I wrote down the chord structure by ear, I think it is quite correct. 
This version which is tabbed here is in C major, though many of the recordings of 
this song are in Eb major (you can use the tune up option on this site)
This song consists of a 12-bar blues instrumental in the beginning which is 
alternated with an AABA 8-bar jazz-blues chorus for the singing. 
The order goes as follows: 12-bar-blues, AABA, 12-bar-blues, 12-bar-blues, AABA

Part A:
| C (x32010@1)    |  C7 (x32310@1)   | F (133211@1)    |   Fm (133111@1)  |
| C (x32010@1)    | Dm7 G6 (320000@1)| C (x32010@1)Am7| (x02010@1)Dm7 G6 (320000@1)|

Part B:
| C (x32010@1)    |  F (133211@1)    | F (133211@1)    |   C (x32010@1)  |
| C (x32010@1)    | Am7 (x02010@1)   | Dm7    | G6 (320000@1)   |
