The Waters Of March chords by Antonio Carlos Jobim

Verse

C/Bb                                    Am6
A stick, a stone, it's the end of the road
                    Fm6/Ab
It's the rest of a stump, it's a little alone
C6/G              Gm7          C7            Am6/F#
It's a sliver of glass, it is life, it's the sun
                            Fm7              C9/G
It is night, it is death, it's a trap, it's a gun
                  C7/G                 D7/F#
The oak when it blooms, a fox in the brush
                Fm6                    C9/G
The knot in the wood, the song of a thrush
                  Gm7     C7       D7/F#
The will of the wind, a cliff, a fall
             Fm7          Fm6        C9/G
A scratch, a lump, it is nothing at all
                       C7/G            C7         Am6/F#
It's the wind blowing free, it's the end of the slope
                     Fm6                        C9/G
It's a beam, it's a void, it's a hunch, it's a hope

C/G                 C7/G                    Am6/F#
And the river bank talks of the waters of March
                     Fm6                       C9/G
It's the end of the strain, it's the joy in your heart

Verse

C/G             C/Bb                      Am6
The foot, the ground, the flesh and the bone
                Fm6/Ab               C9/G
The beat of the road, a slingshot's stone
           C/Bb             D7/F#
A fish, a flash, a silvery glow
            Fm6                C9/G
A fight, a bet, the range of a bow
                 C/Bb                Am6
The bed of the well, the end of the line
                  Fm6/Ab                     C9/G
The dismay in the face, it's a loss, it's a find
            C/Bb              Am6
A spear, a spike, a point, a nail
           Fm6/Ab               C/G
A drip, a drop, the end of the tale
                 Gm9/C                      D7/F#
A truckload of bricks in the soft morning light
                Bb7/F
The shot of a gun in the dead of the night
           C/Bb              Am6
A mile, a must, a thrust, a bump,
                    Fm6/Ab                        C9/G
It's a girl, it's a rhyme, it's a cold, it's the mumps
                Gm7          C9      D/C
The plan of the house, the body in bed
                      Fm/C                         C6/G
And the car that got stuck, it's the mud, it's the mud
             Gm/C       C7      D7/C
A float, a drift, a flight, a wing
           Fm9/C                  C
A hawk, a quail, the promise of spring

C                     C7/G                  Am6/F#
And the river bank talks of the waters of March
                    Fm           Fm6          C6
It's the promise of life, it's the joy in your heart

Verse

C/G            C/Bb                 Am6
A snake, a stick, it is John, it is Joe
                      Fm6/Ab                  C6/G
It's a thorn in your hand and a cut in your toe
            C/Bb            Am6
A point, a grain, a bee, a bite
            Fm6/Ab                      C9/G
A blink, a buzzard, a sudden stroke of night
C/G              Cm7                     D/C
A pass in the mountains, a horse and a mule
                     Fm6/C                          C
In the distance the shelves rode three shadows of blue

C                   Cm7                    D/C
And the river bank talks of the waters of March
                     Db/C                         C/G
It's the promise of life in your heart, in your heart

Verse

C           C/Bb                    Am6
A stick, a stone, the end of the load
              Fm6/Ab             C9/G
The rest of a stump, a lonesome road
              Gm7     C7        D/C
A sliver of glass, a life, the sun
             Fm6       G#dim/C     C/G
A night, a death, the end of the run


C/G                  Gm7         C7        D/C
And the river bank talks of the waters of March
                     Fm6                        C9
It's the end of all strain, it's the joy in your heart
