I am looking for "expertise" - second measure of
"Limehouse Blues" 
I have in front of me a full piano / vocal score
The key  is Ab
Chord symbol for the first four measures is Db9
(The fake books have Abm6 - really the same) except for the root.
In the PIANO score - with a copyright of Hal Leonard  - 2001

--- I thought it was a British song written in 1918

The first and third measures use the C flat

The second and fourth measures have the right hand (harmony) notes 
C Natural and Eb (This is repeated in the second half of the song)

I think whom ever edited or typeset this song was STANDING when 
he should have been sitting down!

If I am wrong, and I am very often, please tell me
What (standard) chord would you use in the second and fourth measures? 

Woefully,
