Music: Antonio Carlos Jobim
Lyrics: Vinicius de Moraes

[Verse 1]
Tall and tan and young  and lovely, The girl
|                  |                       |
From Ipane-             ma goes walking, and when
|                     |                       |
She passes each one     she passes goes
|                    |                   |
--!
|                  |                   |

[Verse 2]

When she walks she s lika a samba that
|                  |                       |
Swings so cool and sways so gentle that when
|                     |                       |
She passes, each one she passes goes
|                    |                   |
--!
|                  |                         |

[Break]
Oh,                     but I watch her so
|                 |                |
sadly                                           How
| Cb9                   | Cb9                   |
                         can I tell her I
|                   |                  |
love her?                                       yes
|                     |                    |
                         I would give my heart
|                    |                   |
gladly                                  But each
|                    |                   |
day when she walks to the sea                   she
|                    | D7b9                  |
looks straight ahead not at me
|                    | C7b9                  |

[Verse]
Tall and tan and young  and lovely the Girl
|                  |                       |
from Ipane-             ma goes walking and when
|                     |                       |
she passes I smile,     but she doesn t
|                    |                   |
see                  (1)    She doesn t      (2)
|                   :|                   |
see                             No she doesn t
|                  |                   |
