        Db5          C5
This is just a little samba,
       B5         Bb5
Built upon a single note
      Db5               C5
Other notes are bound to follow,
        B5               Bb5
But the root is still that note
         E5          A5
Now this new one is the consequence,
       D5               D5     G5
Of the one we've just been through
       Db5     C5     B5        Bb5         A5
As I'm bound to be the unavoidable consequence of you
D5                            G5
There's so many people who can talk
                               C5
And talk and talk and just say nothing,

Or nearly nothing
C5                            F5
I have used up all the scale I know,
                            Bb5
And at the end I've come to nothing,
          B5   Bb5
Or nearly no.....thing
     Db5            C5
So I came back to my first note,
     B5              Bb5
As I must come back to you
       Db5           C5
I will pour into that one note,
        B5            Bb5
All the love I feel for you
   E5             A5
Anyone who wants the whole show,
      D5        D5   G5
Re mi fa sol la si do
        C5                B5
He will find himself with no show,
       Bb7M*           A5
Better play the note you know
