The drums, bass, and piano come in, and play for sixteen counts, then the trumpet melody
in, which goes like this:

e|------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------13-------|
G|-----------------13-15-13/15~----13-15----------|
D|----15-15-----15--------------------------13-15-|
A|------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------|

Wait seven counts, then play it again:

e|------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------13-------|
G|-----------------13-15-13/15~----13-15----------|
D|----15-15-----15--------------------------13-15-|
A|------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------|

Wait seven more counts, then play this:


The slide from 12 to 13 is optional, you can just play 13 and 16, but the slide gives it
more jazzy sound
|
e|------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|----12/13-16-12/13-16----------12/13-16-12/13-16------------------|
G|------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------15-15~---------------------15-15~-----15-15-|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------|


That's the melody. The chords the first time are Fminor, the second time
it's Db9, the third time is Dminor7, and then the last time, back to Fminor.
