Rusty,
You can get great chart of Here's That Rainy Day at www.songtrellis.com . It may not be the way Buddy did it but at least all the chords are there. One of my favorite songs.

Rusty,
It took me a while to find my "Buddy Live at Scotty's" recording, but I finally found it... so, after work tonight I'm planning on sitting down with it for a while, and hopefully I can chart it out for you. I remember his chords were slightly different than the "standard" changes for that tune. More later...

p.s. Cool pics ! Thanks Paul !

Ok, here goes, buddy...
M7 = Major seventh
-7 = Minor seventh

|F- Gm7b5|Ab Eb-11 D7|DbM7 |Bb-7 GbM7|
|G- |C7 |FM7 |C-7 F7 |
|Bb-7 |Eb7 |AbM7 |DbM7 |
|G-7 |C7 |FM7 |G-7 C7 |
|F- Gm7b5|Ab Eb-11 D7|DbM7 |Bb-7 GbM7|
|G-7 |C7 |FM7 |C-7 F7 |
|G-7 |C7 |FM7 |G7b9/E |
|G-7/D |C7 |F |(G-7 C7 |

A couple of comments. Yeah, this is different than the "standard" chords! It's more often played in G. The second chord is troublesome... the bassist is definitely playing a G note, G-11 sounds ok if you leave the A (9th) out... Gm7b5 only sounds good if it's voiced a particular way.
Some people might argue about the Eb-11 D7 change, but I'm being really picky about following the bassist's notes and calling the chords as I see 'em according to the motion and melody notes above. That G7b9/E is kinda bugging me though. I think it was bugging the bass player too, 'cause he was hedging his bets on subsequent choruses. I'm used to it being a II chord, but the only reason I can see they asked him to put an E note under it was to continue the diatonic bass line down to the G-/D and C7/C.
Anyway, you can plug that into your biab, and tell me if it blows up.
All the best,
-John

Just for the record, the more common way to play those first couple of bars is like this:

|F FM7/E|Eb- AbM7|DbM7 |GbM7 |

Thank's so much for doing that,John.I'm lousy at writing charts.I won't have time to mess with it until the weekend,but I'llprobably have to change the bass line,if that can be done with BIAB.All I've ever done with it is make simple tracks to act as a metronome more or less.Tom Mark is getting pretty good at it,so I'll bend his ear.
