One Note Samba
by Antonio Carlos Jobim

        C#m7          C7
This is just a little samba,
       B7/4         Bb7/-5
Built upon a single note
      C#m7               C7
Other notes are bound to follow,
        B7/4               Bb7/-5
But the root is still that note
         Em7/9          A7/+5
Now this new one is the consequence,
       Dmaj7               Dm7     G7
Of the one we've just been through
       C#m7     C7     B7/4        Bb7/-5         A6/9
As I'm bound to be the unavoidable consequence of you
Dm7                            G7
There's so many people who can talk
                               Cmaj7
And talk and talk and just say nothing,
Or nearly nothing
Cm7                            F7
I have used up all the scale I know,
                            Bbmaj7
And at the end I've come to nothing,
          Bdim   Bb7/-5
Or nearly no.....thing
     C#m7            C7
So I came back to my first note,
     B7/4              Bb7/-5
As I must come back to you
       C#m7           C7
I will pour into that one note,
        B7/4            Bb7/-5
All the love I feel for you
   Em7/9             A7/+5
Anyone who wants the whole show,
      Dmaj7        Dm7   G7
Re mi fa sol la si do
        C6                B7
He will find himself with no show,
       Bbmaj7*           A7
Better play the note you know
