Summertime in D minor

A loose and wandering version of this old warhorse. Many guitarists play it in Am but I thought I'd see where Dm took me...

Basic chords:
Dm / / / A7 / / / Dm / / / Dm / / /
Gm / / / A7 / Bb7 / A7 / Bb7 / A7 / / /
Dm / / / A7 / / / Dm / / / Dm / / /
F / G7 / Bb7 / A7 / Dm / / / A7 / / /

Note for haters of barred chords: Although there are 2 potential barred chords in this piece - Gm and Bb - I only play 2 Gm chords barred. The other Gm chords are sounded through an octave run. For Bb, I simply play an A7 on the 1st, 2nd and 4th strings and slide it up a fret...

There is a slightly simplified free tab sheet for this from my website, at:
