Fmaj9
Tall and tan and young and lovely
G
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
   Gm7               F#7
And when she passes, each one she passes
     Fmaj9           E+/F#
Goes "abo de de daoo.."

Fmaj9
When she walks she's like a samba
       G
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
      Gm7             F#7
That when she passes, each one she passes
 Fmaj9
Goes "abo de de daoo.."

Chorus:
F#maj7                 B9
Oh, but I watch her so sadly
F#m9                  D9
How can I tell her I love her
Gm9                   D#9
Yes, I would give my heart gladly
         Am7                     D7
But each day as she walks to the sea
    Gm7                          C7
She looks straight ahead, not at me

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, I go
The girl, the girl, the girl
From Ipanema, from Ipanema

Chorus:
Oh, how I want her so badly
How, how can I tell her I love her
Yes, I would give my heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at me

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, I smile
But she doesn't see
She ain't looking at me
