my ranting:

no LHF sorry.  timing is critical in bossa nova so watch those
beat counts in 4/4 above the tab.  

this song is actually a duet - transcribed here is the lead, 
the second guitar is basically just strumming of the chord 
progression noted above the tab.  

  /      slide up
  \      slide down
  P.M.   palm muted
  |      beat counts


4/4, calypso, quarter note = 200

[now you enter the solos... the rhythm guitar now takes the lead and
the lead guitarist should pick a sufficiently groovy strumming pattern
and play these chords.  an ellipsis just means to keep playing previous
chord - and four bits makes one bar, so each line in the 
following progressions measures two bars.]

okay, first improv goes over this:

 Am7      ...      ...      ...      D9       ...      ...      ... 

G7M     ...      ...      ...      ...      ...      ...      ... 

 Am7      ...      ...      ...      D9       ...      ...      ... 

G7M     ...      ...      ...      Dm7      ...      G9       ... 

C7M     ...      ...      ...      Cm7      ...      ...      ... 

 Bm7      ...      ...      ...      E7#9     ...      ...      ... 

 Am7      ...      ...      ...      D9       ...      ...      ... 

G7M     ...      ...      ...      Abo7     ...      ...      ... 



[swap leads, so both players get a minute to improvise.  this chord 
progression is identical to the above one expect it terminates
differently.]  second improv:

 Am7      ...      ...      ...      D9       ...      ...      ... 

G7M     ...      ...      ...      ...      ...      ...      ... 

 Am7      ...      ...      ...      D9       ...      ...      ... 

G7M     ...      ...      ...      Dm7      ...      G9       ... 

C7M     ...      ...      ...      Cm7      ...      ...      ...
