One Note Samba
by Antonio Carlos Jobim

Dbm7 C7
This is just a little samba,
B7/4 Bb7/-5
Built upon a single note
Dbm7 C7
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 Dm7 G7
Of the one we've just been through
Dbm7 C7 B7/4 Bb7/-5 A6/9
As I'm bound to be the unavoidable consequence of you
Dm7 G7
There's so many people who can talk
Cmaj7
And talk and talk and just say nothing,
Or nearly nothing
Cm7 F7
I have used up all the scale I know,
Bbmaj7
And at the end I've come to nothing,
Bdim Bb7/-5
Or nearly no.....thing
Dbm7 C7
So I came back to my first note,
B7/4 Bb7/-5
As I must come back to you
Dbm7 C7
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 Dm7 G7
Re mi fa sol la si do
C6 B7
He will find himself with no show,
Bbmaj7* A7
Better play the note you know
