Here's my arrangement of The Girl From Ipanema, it's in key of F. The A-chorus
chords are nothing fancy, pretty much just as published, but with different
fingerings.
The chord fingerings used permit the melody notes to be easily played 'out
of' the chords, typically on strings 1 or 2, using minimum of finger
movement. The B-chorus with pedal and rundown chords is typically played
argpeggiated.
* denotes chord with rundown notes used to mimic the 'ghost accent' piano
notes during the bridge.
A-Chorus:
FMaj9, G7, Gm7, Gb7
FMaj7, Gb7
FMaj9, G7, Gm7, Gb7
FMaj7, Gb7

GbMaj7, Cb9, Cb7, Cb9* [GbMaj7 substituted for Ebm9]
AMaj7, D9, D7, D9* [Amaj7 substituted for F#m9]
BbMaj7, Eb9, Eb7, Eb9* [* = descending notes string 1]
Am7, D7-9
Gm7, C7-9
B-Chorus:
FMaj9, Bb13, Gm7, Gb9 [Bb6 substitute for G9]
