The Girl From Ipanema
(Garota de Ipanema)
Here are the changes I use to play the 1963 Antonio Carlos Jobim's (pictured above) Bossa Nova song The Girl From Ipanema. The repeated eight-bar A section is a great "I-II7-IIm7-V7" jazz progression displacement substitution.
I play the tune in a moderate 4/4 Bossa Nova tempo in the key of Db. My chord fingerings in standard (EADGBE) tuning are as follows:
Db(6/9)Ab = 4x334x; Eb9/Bb = 6x566x; Ebm9/Bb = 6x466x; Ab7#5 = 4x455x; D9/A = 5x455x; Dmaj7 = x54222; G13 = 3x3455; Dm9/A = 5x355x; Bb13 = 6x6788; Ebm9/Bb = 6x466x; B13 = 7x7899; Fm7/C = 8x689x; Bb7b5 = 6x675x; Ebm7/Bb = 6x467x; and Ab7b5 = 4x453x.
