FM7

Tall and tan and young and lovely

     G7

The girl from Ipanema goes walking,

Gm7                   F#7                   FM7    F#7 

And when she passes, each one she passes goes, "Ahhh."    

FM7 

When she walks, she's like a samba

      G7 

That swings so cool and sways so gentle,

        Gm7                  F#7                    FM7 

That when she passes, each one she passes goes, "Ahhh."

Bridge:

  F#+7      F#7             C9

 Oh, but I watch her so sadly;

  F#m7                   D9

 How can I tell her I love her?

   Gm                         Gm7 

Yes, I would give my heart gladly,

           Am7                      Dm7-5   

But each day when she walks to the sea,

       Gm7                         F# 

She looks straight ahead, not at me.

FM7 

Tall and tan and young and lovely

      G7 

The girl from Ipanema goes walking,

      Gm7                 F#7 

And when she passes,  I smile,

                FM7   F#7                FM7    F#7 

But she doesn't see,     no she doesn't see,        

               FM7 

No she doesn't see.
