Version 1Song: 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 Please select a star rating for this tab, many thanks ============================================================== [Intro] Cmaj7 Dum, dum, dum!
