Version 1
            Song: The girl from Ipanema
Artist: Astrud Gilberto
Music: Antonio Carlos Jobim
English lyrics: Norman Gimbel
Tabbed by DJ   1st Aug 2016

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 jazzy feel of the chords.

Hear the original song at this link:
--.-/watch?ds49a_1uEy-n4IsU

FINE TUNING:  The original track is slightly flat of standard
pitch, most likely the backing tracks were slowed down a 
fraction to alter the tempo. If you wish to practise along
with the recording your guitar may sound a little sharp so,
to match it much better, use a chromatic tuner and detune all 
the strings down approx.(-10 cents) below standard pitch.

CAPO: 1st fret  (Will then sound in the recorded key of B
which is the nearest approximate key, see tuning notes above)

Chords names and fret positions are relative to the capo:
Cmaj7  = x32000    Gb9     = 242324    Em7       = 022030
D7     = xx0212    Db7sus2 = x46444    A7-9      = x02323
Dm7    = xx0211    A13     = x02022    G7-5      = 34340x
Db7-5  = x4300x    D7sus2  = xx0210    Cmaj7sus2 = x35433
Dbmaj7 = x46564    Bb7     = x13131    Cmaj7 *   = x35453

[Intro]
Cmaj7
Dum, dum, dum! Brrring, boom -boom...brrring, boom -boom!

[Verse 1]
Cmaj7
Tall and tanned, and young and lovely,
    D7
The girl from Ipanema goes walking,
    Dm7                   Db7-5              Cmaj7
And when she passes, each one she passes goes  ...'Ahhh!'

[Verse 2]
Cmaj7    
When she walks she's like a samba,
     D7
That swings so cool, and sways so gently,
     Dm7                   Db7-5              Cmaj7
That when she passes, each one she passes goes  ...'Ahhh!'

[Verse 3]
Dbmaj7                Gb9
Oh, but he watches so sadly,
Db7sus2                 A13
How can he tell her he loves her?
D7sus2                       Bb7
Yes, he would give his heart gladly,
         Em7                        A7-9
But each day, when she walks to the sea,
    Dm7                          G7-5
She looks straight ahead, not at he

[Verse 4]
Cmaj7
Tall and tanned, and young and lovely,
    D7
The girl from Ipanema goes walking,
    Dm7                 Db7-5
And when she passes, he smiles,
                Cmaj7
But she doesn't see
