The Girl From Ipanema

(Garota De Ipanema)

Music by Antonio Carlos Jobim

Original words by Vinicius de Moraes

English Translation by Norman Gimbel

Bossa Nova in half-time (4/4 -> 2/4)

Key: F major

[Fmaj7] Tall and tan and young and lovely, the girl

[G7] from Ipanema goes walking, and when

[Gm7] she passes, each one [Gb7] she passes goes

[Fmaj7] a-a-h... [Gb9]

[Fmaj7] When she walks she's like a samba that

[G7] swings so cool and sways so gentle, that when

[Gm7] she passes, each one [Gb7] she passes goes

[Fmaj7] a-a-h... [Fmaj7]

[Gbmaj7] Oh, but I watch her so

[Cb9] saddly.

[F#m7] How can I tell her I

[D9] love her?

[Gm7] Yes, I would give my heart

[Eb9] gladdly. But each

[Am7] day when she walks to the [D7-9] sea, she

[Gm7] looks straight ahead not at [C7-9] me.

[Fmaj7] Tall and tan and young and lovely the girl

[G7] from Ipanema goes walking, and when

[Gm7] she passes I smile, [Gb7] but she doesn't

[Fmaj7] see. [Gb7] : first time through.

Repeat from beginning.

...[Fmaj7] see. [Gb7] She just doesn't : second time through.

[Fmaj7] see. [Gb7] No, she doesn't

[Fmaj7] see. [Gb7] [Fmaj7]
