I noticed that the version of Detour Ahead in the 1200 tunes is the Bill Evans version. After listening to some vocalists like Billie Holiday and Mark Murphy do it, I discovered a different set of changes.

Me, Myself and I
By Irving Gordon, Allan Roberts & Alvin S. Kaufman
1937
Like Fred Astaire, Billie Holiday had the privilege of introducing a great many standards, and this is one of the most charming. It was written by former song parodist Gordon, with lyrics by Roberts and Kaufman, his collaborators at Mills Music, then the largest independent song publisher in the world. Gordon was also responsible for Nat King Cole's "Unforgettable".
Lyrics:
Me, myself and I
Are only loving you.
We all think you’re wonderful, we do.
Me, myself and I
Have just one point of view:
We’re convinced there’s no one else like you.
It can’t be denied dear,
You brought the sun to us,
We’d be satisfied dear,
If you belonged to one of us.
So if you pass me by,
Three hearts will break in two,
‘Cause me, myself and I
Are all in love with you.
Recorded By:

Hi. Wonderful set list.
I fixed some improper things in the chart:
- spacing of single chords in measures does not affect playing, so I inserted slashes at beginning of measures where you left spaces (assuming you wanted right-positioned chords to play on second-half of measure)
- positioned chords in last bar of main chorus to play (4 chords in 5 spaces won’t play, but 4 chords in 8 spaces still makes a bar in 4/4, so you can read the chords AND it will play)
- inserted double bar lines and section letters to visually differentiate sections (it’ll also play differently in some styles)
- Moved coda to end of bar instead of beginning of next (that’s how it works in scores: a musician reads to the end of the bar from which to jump to Coda, then jumps)
- cosmetic fermata (no play function) at end
