Note:
Strumming pattern is a classical Bossa Nova with small variants - just play what feels right for you.
I use the following chord shapes, which I didn't see anywhere else and match up pretty well with version on
spotify. The notes in brackets [e.g. (5)] are optional.

[Verse 1]

Tall and tan a

nd young and l

ovely,
    
the girl from 

Ipanema goes w

alking
          
and when she p

            
asses, each on

         
e she passes g

       
oes...'aaaah.'

When she walks

, she's like a

 Samba
     
that swings so

 cool and sway

s so gentle,
          
that when she 

             
passes, each o

        
ne she passes 

        
goes...'aaaah.

[Chorus]
         
Oh, but I watc

         
h her so sadly

,
           
how can I tell

       
 her I love he

r?
          
Yes, I would g

             
ive my heart g


ladly...
           
But each day, 

              
when she walks

        
 to the sea,
          
she looks stra

              
ight ahead, no

     
t at me.

[Solo]

[Chorus]

how can I tell

r?
          
Yes, I would g

[Outro]

Tall, and tan,

d lovely,
    
the girl from

...but she doe

No, she doesn'

              
t see, she doe

       
sn't see.
              
She just doesn

   
't see.
