Girl From Ipanema


Tall and tan and young and lovely
 -5* -4* -4* -3*  -5*   5   5  5

The girl from I-pa-ne-ma goes walking
-3* -5*  -4* -4* -3* -5* -5* 5  5  5

And when she passes each one she passes goes ahh
-3*  4*  -3* -3*-3*  3*  -4*  3*  3* 3*  -2*  3*


When she walks she's like a samba
 -5* -4*  -4*  -3*    -5* 5  5 5

That swings so cool and sways so gently 
 -3*  -5*  -4* -4*  -3*  -5*  5   5  5

That when she passes each one she passes goes ahh
 -3*  4*  -3* -3* -3* 3*  -4*  3*  3* 3*  -2*  3*


Oh,  but he watches so  sadly
 4*  -5  4*  -4  4* -4  -3 -4 

How,  can he tell her he loves her
 6    -6  6   -5   6  -5   5   -5 

Yes,  he would give his heart gladly
 6*   -6*  6*   -5*  6*  -5*  5* -5* 

But each day when she walks to the sea
 6*  -6*  7*  3*  -3*  -4*  4* -5*  6

She looks straight ahead not at he
 6*  -6*    -2*   3* -3* -4* 4* -5


Tall and tan and young and lovely
 -5* -4* -4* -3*  -5*   5   5  5

The girl from I-pa-ne-ma goes walking
-3* -5*  -4* -4* -3* -5* -5* 5   5  5

And when she passes  he smiles but she doesn't see
-3*  6*   5*  5* 5*  -3*  7*    4   4   4 -3*   4

She just doesn't see   No she doesn't see
 4   4    4 -3*   4     4  4   4 -3*   4

She just doesn't see
 4   4    4 -3*   4
