Full Song

Verse 1

 
Fmaj7 G7
Tall and tan and young and lovely
Gm7
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
Gb7 Fmaj7
And when she passes, each one she passes goes “Ah”
 

Verse 2

 
Fmaj7 G7
When she walks she’s like a samba
Gm7
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
Gb7 Fmaj7
That when she passes, each one she passes goes “Ah”
 

Bridge

 
Gbmaj7 B7
Oh, but I watch her so sadly
F#m D7
How can I tell her I love her?
Gm7 Eb7
Yes, I would give my heart gladly
Am7 D7
But each day when she walks to the sea
Gm7 Eb7
She looks straight ahead, not at me
 

Verse 3

 
Fmaj7 G7
Tall and tan and young and lovely
Gm7
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
Gb7 Fmaj7 G7
And when she passes I smile, but she doesn’t see
Gm7 Gb7
She just doesn’t see
Fmaj7
No, she doesn’t see
 

Practice tip: The bridge modulates to a distant key — that’s what gives it the “dreamy” quality. Practice the bridge separately. The Fmaj7-G7-Gm7-Gb7 verse progression needs smooth, chromatic movement.
