[INTRO]
DbM9
A1
DbM9Tall and tan and young and lovely
The Eb13girl from Ipanema goes walking
Ebm7 And when she passes
Ab6 - Ab#5 * DbM9 D9
Each one she passes goes "ah!"
A2
DbM9When she walks she's like a samba that
Eb13Swings so cool and sways so gently
Ebm That when she passes,
Ab6 - Ab#5 DbM13
Each one she passes goes "ah!"
B
DM7Oh, but he watches her so G13sadly
Dm9How can he tell her he Bb9loves her?
Ebm9Yes, he would give his heart B9gladly
But each Fm7day when she walks to the E9sea
She Ebm9looks straight ahead not at D9him
A3
DbM9Tall and tan and young and lovely
The Eb13girl from Ipanema goes walking
Ebm7 And when she passes
Ab6 - Ab#5 DbM9 D9
He smiles but she doesn't see
[INTERLUDE ~ A SECTION]
DbM9 Eb13 Ab6 - Ab#5 DbM9 D9

B
DM7Oh, but he watches her so G13sadly
Dm9How can he tell her he Bb9loves her?
Ebm9Yes, he would give his heart B9gladly
But each Fm7day when she walks to the E9sea
She Ebm9looks straight ahead not at D9him
A3
DbM9Tall and tan and young and lovely
The Eb13girl from Ipanema goes walking
Ebm7 And when she passes
Ab6 - Ab#5 DbM9 D9
He smiles but she doesn't see
[CODA]
she doesn't DbM9see, no D9
she doesn'tDbM9 see D9
she just doesn't DbM9see
* I write Ab 6-5 throughout the song to emphasize what is being moved (the F to E-natural).
BUT Ab6 is also better known as Fm, in this case Fm/Ab.
