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.

FINE 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)

[Intro]
Cmaj7Dum, dum, dum! Brrring, boom -boom...brrring, boom -boom!
[Verse 1]
Cmaj7Tall and tanned, and young and lovely,
The D7girl from Ipanema goes walking,
Dm7 Db7-5 Cmaj7
And when she passes, each one she passes goes ...'Ahhh!'
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7When she walks she's like a samba,
That D7swings so cool, and sways so gently,
Dm7 Db7-5 Cmaj7
That when she passes, each one she passes goes ...'Ahhh!'
[Verse 3]
Dbmaj7Oh, but he watches so Gb9sadly,
Db7sus2How can he tell her he lA13oves her?
D7sus2Yes, he would give his heart Bb7gladly,
Em7 A7-9
But each day, when she walks to the sea,
Dm7 G7-5
She looks straight ahead, not at he
[Verse 4]
Cmaj7Tall and tanned, and young and lovely,
The D7girl from Ipanema goes walking,
Dm7 Db7-5
And when she passes, he smiles,
But she doesn't Cmaj7see
