Chords:
The main theme is basically X-m X-m(ma7) X-m7 X-m6 while X can be any chord. I use to play it in C as 
Chet Baker usually did and add the bass note into the pattern. Just try some fingerpicking and I think the
chords show how and what to play. But feel free to make some soft strums at the chromatic part for example
