This Bossa Nova is a challenge for the average player,
but I've tried to find the simplest voicings I could whilst
still retaining the feel of the song.

Tuning:
Slightly flat of concert pitch. Using a chromatic tuner,
detune all strings down approx.(-10)
CAPO: 1st fret
(Will then sound in the recorded key of B, which is the
nearest approximate key, see tuning notes above)
Chords names and fret positions are relative to the capo:
Cmaj7 = x32000 Gb9 = 242324 Em7 = 022030

[Intro]
Cmaj7
Dum, dum, dum! Brrring, boom -boom...brrring, boom -boom!
[Verse 1]
Cmaj7
Tall and tanned, and young and lovely,
D7
The girl from Ipanema goes walking,
Dm7 Db7-5 Cmaj7
And when she passes, each one she passes goes ...'Ahhh!'
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7
When she walks she's like a samba,
D7
That swings so cool, and sways so gently,
Dm7 Db7-5 Cmaj7
That when she passes, each one she passes goes ...'Ahhh!'
[Verse 3]
Dbmaj7 Gb9
Oh, but he watches so sadly,
Db7sus2 A13
How can he tell her he loves her?
D7sus2 Bb7
Yes, he would give his heart gladly,
Em7 A7-9
But each day, when she walks to the sea,
Dm7 G7-5
She looks straight ahead, not at he!
[Verse 4]
Cmaj7
Tall and tanned, and young and lovely,
D7
The girl from Ipanema goes walking,
Dm7 Db7-5
And when she passes, he smiles,
Cmaj7
But she doesn't see!
