I play a bossa nova version on guitar. Was a big hit for Billie Holiday than decades later for Cher.
There are 20 distinct chords on this song, if we count all the diminished chords based on the intended root. (There are really only 3 diminished chords, but the inversions define the root.)
Overall, I change chords over 75 times!
Awfully fun to play.
