      [cbords and arrangement according to Getz/Gilberto version] 
Intro:

(wordless vocal over Db6/9 on nylon-string guitar)

Verse 1 (w/nylon-string guitar only):

        Db6/9 [x4334x]
Olha que coisa mas linda mas cheia
           Eb9 [x6566x]
De graca e ela menina que vem
              Ebm9* [x6466x]  Ab7+5 [4x455x]            Db6/9  [1: D9]
E que passa num doce balanco a caminho do mar
* Ebm9/Ab after bass enters

Verse 2 (bass and percussion enter):

Moca do corpo dourado do sol de Ipanema
O seu balancado e mais que um poema
E a coisa mais linda que eu ja vi passar

Chorus 1:

        Dmaj7                   G13 [3x345x]
Ah! Por que estou tao sozinho?
        [Dm9]Ah! Por que tudo e tao [Bb13]triste?
        [Ebm9]Ah! A beleza que e[Cb13]xiste
            Fm7               Bb7-5 [6x675x]
A beleza que nao e so minha
            Ebm7           Ab7-5 [4x453x]
Que tambem passa sozinha

Verse 3:

Ah! se ela soubesse que quando ela passa
O mundo sorrindo se enche de graca
E fica mais lindo por causa do amor


Verse 4:

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one she passes goes "ahh"

Verse 5:

When she walks she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when she passes, each one she passes goes "ahh"

Chorus 2:

        Oh, but he [1: watches  2: sees her] so sadly
How can he tell her he loves her?
Yes, he would give his heart gladly
But each day when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead not at he

Verse 6:

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes he smiles, but she doesn't see

[sax solo over two verses, cborus, verse]

[piano solo over two verses]
[repeat cborus 2]
[repeat verse 6]
Coda:

        [D9]   She just doesn't[Db6/9] see
        [D9]   No, she doesn't[Db6/9] see
        [D9]   But she doesn't[Db6/9] see
        [D9]   She doesn't[Db6/9] see
        D9                Db6/9  [fade]
No, she doesn't see
