Baltimore Oriole - Hoagy Carmichael

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.

Was just wondering - several times you notated a Bbm7 chord with a Bb bass note - is that what you wanted? Wouldn't that chord already have a Bb as the bass note?

I put the Bb in the bass because that's the note I wanted to be played. Otherwise, iReal Pro might have played some other note in the chord.

OK, if you wanted the iReal player to only play a Bb bass note for that chord, then I guess that makes sense. Thanks.
