Chords for "Black Orpheus" - Frank Vignola Chords Play-Along Jazz Studio

_ _ Okay, the theme from Black Orpheus beautiful beautiful bossa nova a
_ minor
_ [Bm]
B minor [Ab] 7 e [Am] 7 a minor.
Okay, kind of a 2 5 1
1 being a minor you can either use [B] this B minor 7 flat for _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ [A] the open a minor
Goodness
_ [Am] _
_ _ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ [Am] Okay, or here _
_ _ [A] _ _ [Abm] Now you [Dm] don't have to get all four notes that to me is a difficult chord to get with that flat five in [Bm] there
So I just stay here
I just stay off of these strings because that's where the melody is gonna be so I stay on the bottom four
You don't have to hit all four notes [Am] all the time.
So even this a minor you may notice this
Really just getting that
All _ [Bm] right, and then B minor maybe I'll have to be a little bit
[Ab] _ _ [E] Instead of the [Ab] biggie seventh, I just stay there again [E] stay off the melody strings.
[Am] Okay, so _ _
_ [D] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [Am] _ _
Same [A] thing
_ [Ab] _ [Am] again
D minor seventh
[B] _ The [Em] g7 to C major 7 now we're in C the relative major to a minor
And the relative minor and C is a minor
So and [E] then C sharp diminished _ _
_ [Em] That's an easy one to get really
Right these [N] two fingers switch
These two stay the same [Em] C major and you just kind of switch those two same [A] frets and everything just [Db] different strings _ _
_ [Dm] Now D minor 7 [E] [G] g7 _ 2 and [C] 5 to C to [A] F major 7 _
_ _ [B] _ _ [Bm] Again or this one to e7
_ _ [Am] _ _ _
[B] E7 and I put a sharp 9 in [D] parentheses there because that's kind of a cool turnaround chord [A] there
It doesn't have to be [Abm] used each 7 is fine
[Dbm] You could use [D] e9 you could use e7 flat 9, but I put the sharp 9 just because it's a nice color for this
[B] _ Optional.
Okay.
That's the first half of the song.
The second half is sort [Am] of the same _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
Okay stays right there now bar [E] 21 e _
minor 7 flat [A] 5 to a 7 [Dm] to D minor
[Am] So this tune is full of
251 minors 251 major.
_ Okay, so bar 17 _
_ _ [A] _ _ [Abm] _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ D [Dm] _
minor
_ bar 25 D minor 7 to [E] e7 _ _ [Am] a minor
To F major 7 to _ [Ab] e7 _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [Am] _ _
Okay [Db] now bar 25 [Dm] watch what you can do here, _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ [E] _ _ okay [Dm] D minor and the C in the bass
[F] _ _ [Bm] _ _
To [E] an _ _ a minor [A] watch this
_ _ _ And [G] G in the bass
[E] _ _ [F] _ _ _ [E] _ See that a nice bass movement that can be done doesn't have to the basic chords are written
Again substitutions can be added.
I like to try to write these charts with the simplest
Chord changes so you can add the colors
