I think in Grisman's Tone Poems book, probably in TableEdit too.
You thought right AlanN. http://www.amazon.com/Mel-Bay-Tone-P...8234223&sr=1-1 Amazon has it. Me too, though I plunged into the Swing 42 one morning after waking up and just knowing how the tune has to be played. I found out that I was an octave below what David Grisman played. And I played it with grass-chords.

What key does Grisman play Swing 42 in? I've been learning the tune from the lead sheet on the Django in June website. There the tune is in the key of C, which works well on the 'dola.

You can get transcriptions of Django's own solos in several places, for example this book from Elderly, also this one. In standard notation of course, but why not go to the source?
I learned this tune in "C" as well. The progression changes each beat. This is what I've been playing (chords):
"A"-part:
C - Ddim (6 fret G string, 5 fret D string, 4 fret A string, x-E) - Dm - G7
<repeat>
Walk down all in bar shape - Em (11 fret) - D#m - Dm - G7
<repeat first 4 chord progression>
On the second time through, replace the chord progression at the end with two beats on C and two beats on B.
"B" part:
E - E#dim - Fm - B7 (play three times through)
Em - A7 - Dm - G7
Repeat the "A" part again.
I hope this makes sense, I'm not the best with theory or notation so I hope you understand. I love the gypsy jazz stuff ("Tipsy Gypsy" anyone?). Getting ready to watch Woody Allen "Sweet and Lowdown".
Good luck.

Everything you can imagine is real.
Here's an old thread where the changes were discussed:
