The drums, bass, and piano come in, and play for sixteen counts, then the trumpet melody
in, which goes like this:
 
e|------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------13-------|
G|-----------------13-15-13/15~----13-15----------|
D|----15-15-----15--------------------------13-15-|
A|------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------|
 
Wait seven counts, then play it again:
 
e|------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------13-------|
G|-----------------13-15-13/15~----13-15----------|
D|----15-15-----15--------------------------13-15-|
A|------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------|

The slide from 12 to 13 is optional, you can just play 13 and 16, but the slide gives it

That's the melody. The chords the first time are Fminor, the second time
it's Db9, the third time is Dminor7, and then the last time, back to Fminor.

It's Fm7, not Fm, I have the score at home. The intro sounds better an octave down, in my opinion, though.
