One Note Samba chords by Jobim Antonio Carlos

Chords with lyrics

Playing tip: The idea is to keep the note FF (the "Uma

phrase. Since the chords inclide some muted strings
(string that are not played) the chords shown could be

The meter is 4/4, and I’ve indicated bar lines by (|)
and
individual beats with the forward slash (/) where
necessary.

 Verse:
