The Girl From Ipanema Chords by Lou Rawls

This particular [C#m] song that I'm speaking of now _ _ [C]
was very instrumental in introducing [Am] the bossa nova.
[A#] They [B] had a great, great hand in that, seeing [Am] as how Mr.
Stan Getz, who [C] was one of the people [C#] that brought it
from [C] down south of the border, _ [F#] below the other border, [C#] _ _ [C] _ he and a man [C#] named _ _ _ [C] Gilberto, I believe it was, [C#] _
[A#m] _ put [C] it together.
The original title of [C#] this song, let me tell you, _ [C] is The Girl from Ipanema, but we have revised it somewhat.
[Am] _ We call it [C] The Girl [C#] from Biloxi.
That's [F] _ down below the [C#] cotton curtain in Mississippi.
[C] But they have some beautiful beaches down there [C#] because we saw them as we flew over.
We looked out and saw them, [A#m] pretty sands and things down there.
_ [F] Talking about [C] tall and tan and young [Em] and lovely.
The girl from [D] Ipanema goes a [A#]-walking in the wind. _
[D#] She passes each one, [C] she passes, goes, [Am] _
uh-huh.
_ [D] [F] I said, [C] when she walks, she's like a samba [G] that swings [B] so [D] cool and swings [Dm] so gentle. _
[G#] She passes each one, [G] she passes, [C] goes, [E] yeah, [F] yeah, yeah.
[F#] I said, oh, _ _ but I watch her so [C#] sadly.
_ [B] _ _ _ [A] I wonder how _ _ [D] can I tell her [Em] I love [Am] her.
_ _ I [Dm] said, oh, yes, _ _ [Gm] _ I would give my [F] heart gladly.
_ _ [D] But each [Am] and every day [D] as she walks [G#] to the sea, _ [Gm] you know she looks straight ahead.
[Fm] She won't look back at [C] me.
Tall and tan and young and [D] lovely.
The girl from Ipanema goes a [A#]-walking in the wind.
[C] She passes, [Em] I smile, but the girl [C] just won't, she [Dm] won't look [C] back at me.
We got Tommy Stoll on the piano.
To [Em] see if I am [D] _ _ [C] _ [D] _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ [Gm] good.
_ [C] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [F#] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [A#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [A#m] I said, oh, _ _ but I [D#m] watch her so [F#m] sadly.
_ [G#m] _ _ [B] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ I [F#] wonder how can I tell her that I love her so.
_ I [Dm] said, oh, yes, _ yes, I would give [C#] my heart to that girl so gladly.
[G] _ _ But each [Am] and every day [G] as she walks to the [D] sea, you [Gm] know she looks straight ahead.
She [C] won't [D] look back at me.
Tall and [C] tan and young and lovely.
The girl [D] from Ipanema goes a [A#]-walking in the wind.
She passes, [E] I smile, [C] but the girl just won't look back [C#] at me.
To see [D] if I am looking back.
To see if she [A#] is looking back.
To see [C] if I am looking back.
To see [C#] if she is looking back.
To see [C] if I am looking back at [C#] her.
As she [C] walks down to the sea.
[A#m] _ [F#] Oh, she [Am] looks so good to me and [C#] everybody else.
Because [D] she's wearing one of them real cute [A#m] bikini bathing suits.
And it [D] sure does look good to me.
_ [C#] I said, it really, really, [C] really looks good to me.
[C#] _ I [Am] was a-looking [C] back to see if [A#m] she was looking [D#] back.
To see [Am] if I was looking [C] back.
To see if [C#] she was looking back at me.
But [C] she wouldn't look back at [C#] me.
_ As she walked [C] down to the [A] sea.
_ [C#] She wouldn't look [C] at me.
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[D] Thank you.
_ _ [G#] _ _ _ _
[A#] _ _ [G] _ Thank you very much. _ _
