[INTRO]
DbM9


[A1]
DbM9
Tall and tan and young and lovely
    Eb13
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
Ebm7
    And when she passes
     Ab6     -  Abaug * DbM9      D9
Each one she passes goes     "ah!"


[A2]
DbM9
When she walks she's like a samba that
Eb13
Swings so cool and sways so gently
Ebm
    That when she passes,
     Ab6     -  Abaug    DbM13
Each one she passes goes       "ah!"


[B]
DM7                       G13
Oh, but he watches her so sadly
Dm9                    Bb9
How can he tell her he loves her?
Ebm9                         B9
Yes, he would give his heart gladly
         Fm7                       E9
But each day when she walks to the sea
    Ebm9                        D9
She looks straight ahead not at him


[A3]
DbM9
Tall and tan and young and lovely
    Eb13
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
Ebm7
    And when she passes
   Ab6     -   Abaug      DbM9    D9
He smiles but she doesn't see

[INTERLUDE ~ A SECTION]
DbM9 Eb13 Ab6 - Abaug DbM9 D9
DbM9 Eb13 Ab6 - Abaug DbM9

[B]
DM7                       G13
Oh, but he watches her so sadly
Dm9                    Bb9
How can he tell her he loves her?
Ebm9                         B9
Yes, he would give his heart gladly
         Fm7                       E9
But each day when she walks to the sea
    Ebm9                        D9
She looks straight ahead not at him


[A3]
DbM9
Tall and tan and young and lovely
    Eb13
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
Ebm7
    And when she passes
   Ab6     -   Abaug      DbM9    D9
He smiles but she doesn't see


[CODA]
            DbM9    D9
she doesn't see, no
           DbM9    D9
she doesn't see
                 DbM9
she just doesn't see

* Ab6 to Abaug throughout the song emphasizes what is being moved (the F to E-natural).
  BUT Ab6 is also better known as Fm, in this case Fm/Ab.
