Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
    Dbm7Dbm7     C7C7
This is just a little samba,
    B7sus4B7sus4     Bb7b5Bb7b5
Built upon a single note
   Dbm7Dbm7        C7C7
Other notes are bound to follow,
    B7sus4B7sus4        Bb7b5Bb7b5
But the root is still that note
     Em7/9     A7#5

Verse 2:
Now this new one is the consequence,
    Dmaj7Dmaj7        Dm7Dm7   G7G7
Of the one we've just been through
    Dbm7Dbm7   C7C7   B7sus4B7sus4    Bb7b5Bb7b5     A6/9
As I'm bound to be the unavoidable consequence of you

Verse 3:
Dm7Dm7              G7G7
There's so many people who can talk
                Cmaj7Cmaj7
And talk and talk and just say nothing,

Or nearly nothing
Cm7Cm7              F7F7
I have used up all the scale I know,
              Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
And at the end I've come to nothing,
     BdimBdim  Bb7b5Bb7b5
Or nearly no.....thing

Bridge:
   Dbm7Dbm7      C7C7
So I came back to my first note,
   B7sus4B7sus4       Bb7b5Bb7b5
As I must come back to you
    Dbm7Dbm7      C7C7
I will pour into that one note,
    B7sus4B7sus4      Bb7b5Bb7b5
All the love I feel for you

Chorus:
  Em9Em9        A7#5
Anyone who wants the whole show,
   Dmaj7Dmaj7    Dm7Dm7  G7G7
Re mi fa sol la si do
    C6C6        B7B7
He will find himself with no show,
    Bbmaj7Bbmaj7      A7A7
Better play the note you know
