One Note Samba Chords

This version is similar to previous version but with special bossa nova chords, all included below. The first four chords let play the single note (B) as intended. The 4 next chords let play the second note (E). As a result, the tune is in E which is fine for most singers. You can use a capo in 1 or 3 to play it higher in F or G.Was this info helpful?

[Verse 1]
G#m7 G7
This is just a little samba
F#m7 F7
Based upon a single note.
G#m7 G7
Other notes are bound to follow
F#m7 F7
But the root is still that note.
Bm11 A#7(b5)
Now this new one is the consequence
Amaj7 A6 D9
Of the one that's just been through
G#m7 G7 F#m7
As I'm bound to be the unavoidable
F7 E
Consequence of you.
[Chorus]
Am7
There's so many people who can
D9
Talk and talk and talk
Gmaj7 G6 Gmaj7 G6
And just say nothing or nearly nothing
Gm7
I have used up all the scale I know
C9 Fmaj7
And at the end I've come to nothing
F6 F#m7-5 B7
Or nearly nothing
[Verse 2]
G#m7 G7
So I came back to my first note
F#m7 F7
As I must come back to you
G#m7 G7
I will pour into that one note
F#m7 F7
All the love I feel for you.
Bm11 A#7(b5)
Anyone who wants the whole show
Amaj7 A6 D9
Re mi fa sol la si do
G#m7 G7
He will find himself with no show
F#m7 F7 E
Better play the note you know.

Wery well done, Christian! This my favourite version, the one I really enjoy playing because sounds really good and "bossa".
One suggestion: the ONE NOTE on first four chords is B and not A. Therefore I prefer to mute the e string and play these:
G#m7 G7 F#m7 F7
EADGBe EADGBe EADGBe EADGBe
4X440X 3X340X 2X220X 1X120X
Bye!
