When Joao Gilberto comes back into the verse, the melody figure changes
to this pattern for parts of the song: (you really need to listen to get
all the figures right, but hey its jazz, you can do what you want)

  C# maj7(9add13)                   Eb7(9)

repeat to the beginning of the melody from here. The chords run the same
throughout the song, the picking style is the only variation.

The ending of the song uses a different pattern as well, and is just the
C#maj7 (9add13)  alternating with the Eb7(9), and on the very last one,
a Dmaj7(9add13).
