Chords written up by: Doug Nickerson
Garota de Ipanema is often played in the key of F. I saw American guitarist Charlie Byrd play it in G so this is in G. That was on a video from New Orleans public TV, [live from 'Bud's Place' as I recall].
Garota de Ipanema muito se toca no F. Depois de que ví o guitarista Americano Charlie Byrd tocar no G, eu mudéi este por G.
