My opinion : there have been lots of covers on lots of personal songs. However, I get your ethical dilemma here.
I would suggest maybe taking the changes and turning that into a head of your own. I'm not a huge fan of that, but you are right, it's a very pretty song. So, what you could do is use the changes and maybe give him credits. I'm thinking you could maybe cover it by speeding it up a tad, giving it a drum line, and playing the melody on the 'bone... You could just use it as a head for improv.
