Silent Night Reharmonized

Here is a harmonization I've done of Silent Night. I had to play it at a gig recently, and thought to make my own version. It lends itself very well to a Jazz waltz, ballad or medium tempo.

Here are just the chords in F without melody:

3/4| FMaj7 | Bbmaj7| Am7 Gm7| Fmaj7|

     |  G/B     |Bb7#11|  F/A  | Cm7 F7b9|

     |  Bbmaj7b13 Bbmaj7   |Gm7 C7|  Fmaj7  | Cm7 F7b9|

     |  Bm7b5     |E7b9| Am7 Gm7  | Fmaj7|
 
     |  Em7b5     |A7b9| *Dm7 Dm7/C  | Bm7b5 Bb7|

     | F/A     |Gm11| Fmaj7  | (Bb/C) ||


The bars with 2 chords are mostly played with two beats on the first and one on the second.

The last 6 bars marked * also work well with Dm7 | Eb7#11| F/C | Gm7/C C7sus| Fmaj7 | Bb/C ||
