FM7
Tall and tan and young and lovely

     G7
The girl from Ipanema goes walking,

    Gm7                   F#7                   FM7    F#7
And when she passes, each one she passes goes, "Ahhh."


 FM7
When she walks, she's like a samba

      G7
That swings so cool and sways so gentle,

      Gm7                  F#7                    FM7
That when she passes, each one she passes goes, "Ahhh."


Bridge:

F#+7      F#7             C9
Oh, but I watch her so sadly;

F#m7                   D9
How can I tell her I love her?

 Gm                         Gm7
Yes, I would give my heart gladly,

         Am7                      Dm7-5  
But each day when she walks to the sea,

     Gm7                         F#
She looks straight ahead, not at me.


FM7
Tall and tan and young and lovely

    G7
The girl from Ipanema goes walking,

    Gm7                 F#7
And when she passes,  I smile,

               FM7   F#7                FM7    F#7
But she doesn't see,     no she doesn't see,

               FM7
No she doesn't see.
