Playing in higher octaves

We can move the melody up an octave from where it is written in the fake chart.
Why?
One reason is that a type of tune sounds good with the melody 'tinkling' in a higher range.

Fake books always put the melody in a comfortable written ranger.
There will be times when you want to play it in a higher octave.

Another reason is that the accompaniment pattern used here would collide with the melody where it played in its written range.
