Default Charlie Christian Rose Room Chord Changes

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.

Yes, I'm absolutely positive. If you click on the link posted by revmcintyre, you'll find transcriptions of a few different takes of Rose Room by Charlie Christian, and the chord sequence also.
