Default So Nice type Chords

Another one of these questions. I really like playing So Nice, what are some other songs with similar chords?

Wikifonia has a feature where it lists "similar sheets". You can follow the links a few steps and see what you find.

5x455x (Am6)
4x345x (Abdim (b13)
3x235x (Em7b5/G)
etc.

Little boat is very close. It's also done as a bossa and shares the same chords as the first 4 bars of So Nice. It actually repeats those changes down a tone so if the first 4 bars of So Nice are what you like about the tune, then Little Boat would be perfect for you.

Thanks, those are even in my real book and pretty close to the Sheet Music I have for So Nice.

I ask similar types of questions ie. what other songs are like this one? I am trying to develop some styles. I will have to try that wikifonia, but the page appears down at the moment.
