Cool song. Pretty standard changes...there are elements of a Parker blues in there, along with a bridge that uses secondary dominants (V7/IV and V7/V). Too busy to transcribe it for you right now, sorry. Do you want to give it a shot on your own? It would be great practice. (Forgive me if this sounds condescending, I really don't know what your level is.)

Listening to it right now. :-) YouTube - JIMMY SMITH, Messy Bessie (Part I) (Smith)

I don't feel that it's condescending at all; I honestly felt silly asking on the forum because I kind of "heard" that the changes must be some sort of standard form but with the guitar mixed way back I really didn't have anything to sink my teeth into. I guess that gives you an idea as to what level I'm at, lol
I will give it a go, though. I'll be leaning heavily on the bass line.
