Charlie Christian Rose Room Chord Changes

[sungjy1231]

Hello,
I attempting to transcribe, for the first time, Charlie Christians' Rose Room. I am almost 60 percent complete. But, I am really struggling to figure out the harmonic progression of the tune. Any tips? I'm pretty sure its bluesy but I think there is a few substitutions in place.

lAb lDb lAb lAb l

lDbm7 lDbm7 l Ab l Fm7l
