              Intro: Fmaj9|Fmaj9 E/F#|Fmaj9|Fmaj9 E/F#| 
 
Fmaj9 
Tall and tan and young and lovely 
G13 
The girl from Ipanema goes walking  
    Gm7                  F#7/5- 
And when she passes, each one she passes  
      Fmaj9       E/F# 
Goes  "abo de de daoo.." 
 
Fmaj9 
When she walks she's like a samba  
G13 
That swings so cool and sways so gentle  
    Gm7                   F#7/5- 
That when she passes, each one she passes  
      Fmaj9 
Goes "abo de de daoo.." 
 
F#maj7                  B9     
Oh, but I watch her so sadly  
F#m9                  D9     
How can I tell her I love her  
Gm9                        D#9  
Yes, I would give my heart gladly  
         Am7                     D7/9- 
But each day as she walks to the sea  
    Gm7                          C7/9- 
She looks straight ahead, not at me 
 
Fmaj9 
Tall and tan and young and lovely

The girl from Ipanema goes walking  
    Gm7                F#7/5-

How can I tell her I love her  
Gm9                    D#9  
Yes, I would give my heart gladly  
         Am7                     D7/9- 
But each day as she walks to the sea  
    Gm7                          C7/9- 
She looks straight ahead, not at me

The girl from Ipanema goes walking  
    Gm7                  F#7/5- 
And when she passes, I smile but she  
     Fmaj9       E/F# 
does not see .....she 
                Fmaj9 
aint looking at me
