One Note Samba
by Antonio Carlos Jobim

                 
This is just a little samba,
       B7/4         Bb7/-5
Built upon a single note
                    
Other notes are bound to follow,
        B7/4               Bb7/-5
But the root is still that note
         Em7/9          A7/+5
Now this new one is the consequence,
       Dmaj7                   
Of the one we've just been through
               B7/4        Bb7/-5         A6/9
As I'm bound to be the unavoidable consequence of you
                           
There's so many people who can talk
                               Cmaj7
And talk and talk and just say nothing,
Or nearly nothing
                           
I have used up all the scale I know,
                            Bbmaj7
And at the end [bad word] to nothing,
            Bb7/-5
Or nearly no.....thing
                
So I came back to my first note,
     B7/4              Bb7/-5
As I [bad word] back to you
                 
I will pour into that one note,
        B7/4            Bb7/-5
All the love I feel for you
   Em7/9             A7/+5
Anyone who wants the whole show,
      Dmaj7          
Re mi fa sol la si do
                       
He will find himself with no show,
       Bbmaj7*           
Better play the note you know
