Cmaj7
Tall and tan and young and lovely
D7
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
Dm7 Db7
And when she passes, each one she passes,
Cmaj7
Goes “aaahhhh”

Cmaj7
When she walks she’s like a samba,
D7
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
Dm7 Db9
That when she passes, each one she passes
Cmaj7
Goes “aaahhhh”

Dbmaj7 F#7
Oooh, but I watch her so sadly,
Emaj7 A9
How can I tell her I love her
Dm7 Bb7
Yes, I would give my heart gladly
Em7 A7
But each day as she walks to the sea
Dm7 G7b5
She looks straight ahead, not at me

Cmaj7
Tall and tan and young and lovely
D7
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
Dm7 Db9
And when she passes, I smile, but she
Cmaj7
Doesn’t see.
Db9 Cmaj7
She just doesn’t see
Db9 Cmaj7
No, she just doesn’t see
