Here is a melody and chord lead sheet for the Korean folk song "Arirang". This beautiful melody is generated from the major pentatonic scale (1-2-3-5-6) or G-A-B-D-E and the chords are simple triads which can be extended and added to to creating a jazz style waltz if desired.
I have experimented with the chords and suggest the following for a traditional jazz waltz sound:
Gmaj7-Bm7-Cmaj7-D7sus-Gmaj7-Em9-Am7 / D7- Gmaj7
Bm7- Cmaj7 / D7- Gmaj7- Em9- Am7 / D7- Gmaj7
(-) equals bar line (/) equals half note then quarter note
