Music: Ant\u00f4nio Carlos Jobim (1959)\r\nEnglish lyrics: Jon Hendricks and Jessie Cavanaugh\r\n \r\nIt is interesting to note that Frank Sinatra sings another version of Desafinado,\r\nwith  different lyrics (by Gene Lees) over the same melody: \"Slightly out of Tune \/ Off Key\".\r\n \r\nTom Jobim's original is written in F. I think it is easier to play it in F on the guitar.\r\nElla version (1962) is in Eb. So please transose -2 if you wish to sing exactly like Ella.\r\n \r\n[Chords]\r\nFor the verses 1 and 2:\r\nFmaj7:    1x221x\r\nG7(b5):   3x342x\r\nGm7:      3x333x\r\nC9:       3x233x\r\nAm7-5:    5x554x\r\nD7b9:     5x454x\r\nA7b9:     x4535x\r\nDmaj9:    5x465x\r\nG7:       3x343x\r\nGbmaj7:   2x332x\r\nA7#5:     5x566x\r\nDm7:      557565\r\nE7:       x7675x\r\nFor the bridge:\r\nAmaj7:    5x665x\r\nAb7#5:    4x455x\r\nG13:      3x345x\r\nGb7:      2x232x\r\nA#dim7:   6X565X\r\nBm11:     7x775x\r\nAm9:      7x555x\r\nBb7(b5):  6x675x\r\nCmaj7:    8x998x\r\nDbdim7:   9x898x\r\nEbm6:     46456x\r\nAb9:      46454x\r\nC7b9:     3x232x\r\nFor the verse 3 and the outro:\r\nC7:       335353\r\nBbmaj7:   6x776x\r\nBbm6:     6x566x\r\nAm7:      5x555x\r\nAdim7:    5x454x\r\nCm7:      335343\r\nF6:       1x021x\r\n \r\n[Verse 1]\r\nF<\/span>                             G<\/span>\r\n  Love is like a never-ending melody\r\nGm<\/span>              C<\/span>             Am<\/span>     D<\/span>\r\n  Poets have compared it to a symphony\r\n  Gm<\/span>          A<\/span>             D<\/span>\r\nA symphony conducted by the lighting of the moon\r\nG<\/span>                         Gb<\/span>\r\n  But our song of love is slightly out of tune\r\n \r\n[Verse 2]\r\nF<\/span>                                 G<\/span>\r\n  Once your kisses raised me to a fever pitch\r\nGm<\/span>              C<\/span>               Am<\/span>      D<\/span>\r\n  Now the orchestration doesn't seem so rich\r\nGm<\/span>                 A<\/span>           Dm<\/span>              E<\/span>\r\nSeems to me you've changed the tune we used to sing\r\n \r\n[Bridge]\r\nA<\/span>                Ab<\/span>      G<\/span>           Gb<\/span>\r\n  Like the bossa nova,   love should swing\r\n   A<\/span>            Bbm<\/span>       Bm<\/span>               E<\/span>\r\nWe used to harmonize, two souls in perfect time\r\nA<\/span>                 Am<\/span>                Bm<\/span>               Bb<\/span>\r\n  Now the song is diff'rent and the words don't even rhyme\r\n       C<\/span>              Dbm<\/span>        Dm<\/span>                  G<\/span>\r\n'Cause you forgot the melody our hearts would always croon\r\nGm<\/span>            Ebm<\/span>      Ab<\/span>           Gm<\/span>              C<\/span>\r\n  And so what good's a heart that's slightly out of tune\r\n \r\n[Verse 3]\r\nF<\/span>                                    G<\/span>\r\n  Tune your heart to mine the way it used to be\r\nGm                C           Am             D\r\n  Join with me in harmony and sing a song of loving\r\n      Bb              Bbm    Am\r\nWe're bound to get in tune, again before too long\r\n         G\r\nThere'll be no desafinado\r\n          Gb\r\nWhen your heart belongs to me completely\r\n     G              Gm              C\r\nThen you won't be   slightly out of tune\r\n       F      C         F\r\nYou'll sing  along with me.\r\n \r\n[Outro]\r\n         G\r\nThere'll be no desafinado\r\n          Gb\r\nWhen your heart belongs to me completely\r\n     G              Gm              C\r\nThen you won't be   slightly out of tune\r\n       F      C         F\r\nYou'll sing  along with me.\r\nF       C           F\r\nSing   along   with me \/\/\r\nF       C           F\r\nSing   along   with me.\r\n
