Strumming

Is this strumming pattern correct?

[Verse 1]
Fmaj7
Tall and tanned and young and lovely
    G7
The girl from ipanema goes walking
    Gm7                   F#7b5                   Fmaj7  F#7b5
And when she passes, each one she passes goes - ahhh!
 
Fmaj7
When she walks, shes like a samba
     G7
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
     Gm7              F#7b5                        Fmaj7
That when she passes, each one she passes goes - oohh!
 
 
[Chorus]
F#maj7                  B9
Oh, but I watch her so sadly,
F#m7                  D9
How can I tell her I love her?
Gm7                         Eb9
Yes, I would give my heart gladly
         Am7                        Abm7
But each day, when she walks to the sea
     Gm7                         F#7b5
She looks straight ahead, not at me
 
 
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7
Tall, and tanned and young and lovely
    G7
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
    Gm7                 F#7b5                   Fmaj7
And when she passes, I smile - but she doesnt see
F#7b5              Fmaj7 F#7b5                 Fmaj7      F#7b5  Fmaj7
She just doesn't see, no, she just doesn't see...
 
 
[Verse 3]
Fmaj7                                        G7
Olha, que coisa mais linda, Mais cheia de graça,
G7                              Gm7
É ela, menina, que vem e que passa
Gm7          F#7b5           Fmaj7  F#7b5
Num doce balanço, a caminho do mar
Fmaj7                             G7
Moça do corpo dourado, do sol de ipanema,
G7                             Gm7
O seu balançado mais que um poema
       F#7b5                     Fmaj7
a coisa mais linda que eu já vi passar
 
 
[Solo]
Fmaj7 G7 Gm7 F#7b5 Fmaj7 F#7b5
 
 
[Chorus]
F#maj7                  B9
Oh, but I watch her so sadly,
F#m7                  D9
How can I tell her I love her?
Gm7                         Eb9
Yes, I would give my heart gladly
         Am7                        Abm7
But each day, when she walks to the sea
     Gm7                         F#7b5
She looks straight ahead, not at me
 
 
[Verse 4]
Fmaj7
Tall, and tanned and young and lovely
    G7
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
    Gm7                 F#7b5                   Fmaj7
And when she passes, I smile - but she doesnt see 
F#7b5              Fmaj7 F#7b5                 Fmaj7      F#7b5  Fmaj7
She just doesn't see, no, she just doesn't see

very close, but has a small problem in this section: Am7 Abm7 But each day, when she walks to the sea Gm7 F#7 She looks straight ahead, not at me instead, it should be: Am7 D7 flat9 But each day, when she walks to the sea Gm7 C7 flat9 She looks straight ahead, not at me

+10

Abm7 should be D7b9#11. The middle note there is G#. The F#7 on "not at me" should be C7b9#11. The melody note is F#.
