Title: Once I Loved
Portuguese title : O Amor en Paz
Composer : Antonio Carlos ("Tom") Jobim
Playing notes
I have put the alternation of Ma7 and Ma6 in a few locations where there are two consecutive 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 may seem bland for this kind of 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), although it may be seen as bland by a musician fond of using only extensions beyond the triad. You could substitute a min7 in its place.

Em algumos lugares na canção eu escreví Ma7, Ma6, ambos. É possivel fazer este substituição quando aparece uma cordo maior para um bar o mais.

Este é só por causa de gosto. Você Pode também tocar simplemente um Ma7 nestes lugares. Além disso, quando aparece neste papel um cordo minor sem 7th, e porque eu gosto deste som no violão. É verdade que pode usar o min7 também, se você gostaría.
