Intro:
(wordless vocal over Db6/9 on nylon-string guitar)
Verse 1 (w/nylon-string guitar only):
Db6/9 [x4334x]
Olha que coisa mas linda mas cheia
Eb9 [x6566x]
De graca e ela menina que vem
Ebm9* [x6466x] Ab7+5 [4x455x] Db6/9 [1: D9]
E que passa num doce balanco a caminho do mar
* Ebm9/Ab after bass enters
Verse 2 (bass and percussion enter):
Moca do corpo dourado do sol de Ipanema
O seu balancado e mais que um poema
E a coisa mais linda que eu ja vi passar
Chorus 1:
Dmaj7 G13 [3x345x]
Ah! Por que estou tao sozinho?
Dm9 Bb13
Ah! Por que tudo e tao triste?
Ebm9 Cb13
Ah! A beleza que existe

A beleza que nao e so minha
Ebm7 Ab7-5 [4x453x]
Que tambem passa sozinha
Verse 3:
Ah! se ela soubesse que quando ela passa
O mundo sorrindo se enche de graca
E fica mais lindo por causa do amor
Verse 4:
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one she passes goes "ahh"
Verse 5:
When she walks she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when she passes, each one she passes goes "ahh"
Chorus 2:
Oh, but he [1: watches 2: sees her] so sadly
How can he tell her he loves her?
Yes, he would give his heart gladly
But each day when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead not at he
Verse 6:
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes he smiles, but she doesn't see
[sax solo over two verses, chorus, verse]
[piano solo over two verses]
[repeat chorus 2]
[repeat verse 6]
Coda:
D9 Db6/9
She just doesn't see
D9 Db6/9
No, she doesn't see
D9 Db6/9
But she doesn't see
D9 Db6/9
She doesn't see
D9 Db6/9 [fade]
No, she doesn't see
