Quiet nights (Corcovado)
by Antonio Carlos Jobim

Am6                             Ab?(b13)
   Quiet nights of quiet stars
                            Abm6
Quiet chords from my guitar
Gm7             C7/9            F7+/5+      F7+
Floating on the silence that surrounds us
Fm7                   Bb7/9         C7+
   Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams
               A7/5+          Dm7/9
Quiet walks by quiet streams
                            G7/13
And a window looking on the mountains
        G#m6
And the sea, so lovely
Am6                            Ab?(b13)

   This is where I want to be
                               Abm6
Here, with you so close to me
  Gm7           C7/9              F7+/5+   F7+
Until the final flicker of life's amber
Fm7                   Bb7/9    Em7
   I who was lost and lonely
                   A7/5+   Dm7/9
Believing life was only
                G7/13
A bitter tragic joke
G7/5+           Em7    A7/5+   Dm7/9
Have found with you
                G7/13    G#m6      Am6
The meaning of existence,    oh my love!
