When Joao Gilberto comes back into the verse, the melody figure changes
to this pattern for parts of the song: (you really need to listen to get
all the figures right, but hey its jazz, you can do what you want)

repeat to the beginning of the melody from here. The chords run the same
throughout the song, the picking style is the only variation.
The ending of the song uses a different pattern as well, and is just the
C#maj7 (9add13) alternating with the Eb7(9), and on the very last one,
a Dmaj7(9add13).
===============================================================================
Thanks for this PD Spicer. It's been an eye-opener working through these chords: a completely different way of playing the guitar that I hadn't come across before. I think it's amazing the way Gilberto highlights the jazz "colour" notes so that even with only 4 strings being sounded and often with fundamental notes missing the chord still works, e.g. the first C# chord doesn't even have C# in it yet I can definitely "hear" it! I've been looking recently at alternative tunings (Joni Mitchell, Rolling Stones, etc) but I think this bossanova style is far more interesting. Thanks again.
Just a small typo: the second G#13 is tabbed in the same way as the Eb min7(9) in the bar before it. Should be tabbed the same way as when G#13 is first played.
smallweed: thanks for your feedback, I've just submitted a revision with the correction you noted (hopefully it'll appear soon). Much appreciated, and glad to hear you've enjoyed this piece as much as I have.
