The Girl from Ipanema
(Garota de Ipanema)

Music: Antonio Carlos Jobim
Lyrics: Vinicius de Moraes

Verse 1

Tall and tan and young 	and lovely, The girl
| 			| 			|
From Ipane-		ma goes walking, and when
| 			| 			|
She passes each one 	she passes goes
| 			| 			|
--!
| 			| 			|

Verse 2

When she walks she's lika a samba that
| 			| 			|
Swings so cool and sways so gentle that when
| 			| 			|
She passes, each one she passes goes
| 			| 			|
--!
| 			| 			|

Break

Oh,			but I watch her so
| 		| 		|
sadly						How
| Cb9			| Cb9			|
			 can I tell her I
| 			| 			|
love her?					yes
| 			| 			|
			 I would give my heart
| 			| 			|
gladly					But each
| 			| 			|
day when she walks to the sea			she
| 			| D7b9			|
looks straight ahead not at me
| 			| C7b9			|

Verse

Tall and tan and young 	and lovely the Girl
| 			| 			|
from Ipane-		ma goes walking and when
| 			| 			|
she passes I smile,	but she doesn't
| 			| 			|
see 		     (1)    She doesn't      (2)
| 		       :| 			|
see 		     		No she doesn't
| 			| 			|
see
| 			| 			||


The second time around you'll have to substitute
some words:

	lovely		handsome
	girl		boy
	she		he
	her		him
