Stevie's I Wish

Can anyone help me with the chorus chords for this tune? In Eb what I have is

Bb7 C7 Fm7 Abm7
Bb7 C7 Fm7 Bb7

It's in the ballpark but doesn't seem right.

This is what I always play -

a flat 6 (high F), b flat 6 (high G), a flat high a note, then a flat minor 6 (high F),

repeat and then for the last chord b flat augmented instead of a flat minor 6 .

It's all in the voicing I use, these aren't full chords, mostly 3 or 4 notes max.

I go with:
Bb7 C7 Fm7 Abm6
Bb7 C7 Fm7 Bb7#5#9

Definitely a 6th (F) on the Abm and #5 on the last chord, as the others say, and I think there's also a #9 there too (even if there isn't, it sounds nice to add it ).
Abm6 = Fm7b5, of course, if it's easier to think of it that way.
