Once I Loved Chords

Title: Once I Loved Portuguese title: O Amor en Paz Composer: Antonio Carlos ("Tom") Jobim Playing notes I have put an alternation of Ma7 and Ma6 in a few locations where there are two consecutive measures (bars) of a major chord. Ma7 and Ma6 are similar and this substitution is always possible. This is a taste issue, you could as easily use just Ma7 or a major triad. Although a triad will seem weak for this kind of Bossa Nova piece. Similarly, where I have indicated minor rather then min7, it is because I like to hear a simple minor chord in that spot; it is nice on the guitar (especially nylon string). You could substitute a min7 in its place.

Eu coloquei ambos Ma7 e Ma6 numos lugares neste cancao. Cuando aparece uma chord maior em dois bars consecutivos, quase sempre este substitution seja possivel. Este e um situacao do meu gusto. Claro que se pode tocar Ma7 todos nestes lugares. E tambem, se seja situacao de minor sem que tem 7, eu ponho este porque gostou este tipo de son no violao. Especialmente no violao "classico." Como antes, voce pode usar a min7 se voce gostaria. Legend Ma7 = major 7 - major chord with an added major seventh min7 = minor chord with a (minor) seventh min = minor chord without a seventh dim7 = diminished seventh chord x = string not played or muted Key: D minor (ends on D minor) Meter: 4/4 Tempo: slow to moderate Bar lines are indicated by (|) Chords for "O Amor en Paz" (Once I Loved) Once....
