That’s Ebb Tide composed by harpist Robert Maxwell in 1953. Another famous piece of his is Shangri La.
I personally think it partly inspired Erroll Garner to compose Misty.
Sounds like C Diatonic tuning here!
I worked up a version with E C# A F# D C# A B, which is B11th with the D# tuned a half step down!

My favorite version of Ebb Tide. Reggie Young, 1964:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqAZQhgiyoQ&pp=ygUVcmVnZ2llIHlvdW5nIGViYiB0aWRl
Perhaps somewhat overproduced, but that tube amp tremolo is so beautiful.
Ebb Tide is definitely one of the all time classic instrumentals that everyone should know.
Spending the time one weekend to listen to all the instrumental tunes in the list below was an important part of my musical education 
This was a good thread about instrumental music: https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=238728&sid=ed53366bca76d552c568b78e99a794ec
In it, Dom Frano made this great chart:
“Some possible reasons for the decline?
1. 1960's The Beatles
2. The End of Studio Orchestras
3. The rise of guitar led bands
4. TV & Videos show attractive singers
5. Music Education dropped from schools
6. Teeny boppers drive the industry now”
Here is the complete list of every single instrumental (as defined by Billboard as a song with less than 25% vocals) that has made it into Billboards Top 20 pop hits from 1950 till today:

Oh man, I love that song!
My favorite, and my introduction to it, was Alfred Apaka's version. Jules Ah See on steel but mostly a vocal arrangement (which is just lovely...probably Ben Kalama's handiwork?). Apaka was my introduction to Hawaiian steel (even though not a steeler himself...but he had some great backing players!). Only slight blemish in this song is the fact that he says "one burning thought" in a way my kids (ok, me and the wife too, we are children sometimes) mishear as "one burning fart" which casts a new light on the song altogether...

A nice Fender 1000 pedal version by Basil Henriques...these were demos he did as a young man in the 60s!

That Jerry version is a delight though...diatonic tuning goodness. And at the House Without a Key...a few years ago we were walking along the beach at Waikiki hoping to get to a point to see the fireworks and passed that place where a tasteful, talented group was playing Hawaiian music to patrons who could afford a more pricey hotel than us, haha. No steel guitar...but I imagine if I heard music like that with steel guitar, I would have been stopped dead in my tracks.

Joe,
I was unaware of Reggie Young's version. Thanks for posting.
Hardly a week passes that I don't hear something that Reggie Young played on.
Thanks for the list!

I grew up playing and being around great musicians that were usually a generation or two older than me and am so thankful to have been exposed to so many wonderful tunes, instrumentals especially.
They were all big into Les Paul and Chet Atkins who covered many of these.
They must have been popular at some point as I’m a vintage LP hunter, or was, and man Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass LPs seemed to be everywhere haha
