Antonio Carlos Jobim - Geene Lees
Portuguese words by Vinícius de Moraes
Bmaj7 Emaj7 Bmaj7 Emaj7 Bmaj7 Emaj7
              Bmaj7           Emaj7          Bmaj7          Emaj7
What should I call this happy madness that I feel inside of me
             Bmaj7        Emaj7           Ebm7            Dbm7 F#7
Some kind of wild October gladness that I never thought I see
         Bmaj7          Emaj7          Bmaj7          Emaj7             G#m6 Bbdim Bmaj7 Dbm7 F#7
Whatever happened to my sadness all my endless lonely sighs where are my so- rrows now
     Bmaj7           Emaj7             Ebm7           E7/9  Bm6
What happened to the frown and is that self contented clown
               Amaj7                         G#7/+5 G#7
standing there grinning in the mirror really me
            Dbm7                Bbdim             Dbm7           Em
I'd like to run through Central park, carve your initials in the bark
         Ebm7   G#m6     Dbm7  F#7    Bmaj7
of every tree I pass for every one to see
            Emaj7             Bb7               Dmaj7                Ebdim
I feel that I've gone back to childhood and I'm skipping through the wild wood
    Dbm7          F#7                Bmaj7
so excited that I don't know what to do
          Emaj7         Fdim      Ebmaj7     G#dim        
What do I care if I'm a juvenile, I smile my secret little smile
  Fm7              B7/9            Ebmaj7 F#7/4 F#7/-5
because I know the change in me is you
              Bmaj7           Emaj7             Ebm7       E7/9 Bm6
What should I call this happy madness, all this unexpected joy
                Amaj7                      G#7/+5 G#7
that turned the world into a baby bouncing toy
             Dbm7         Bbdim             Dbm7          Em
The Gods are laughing far above, one of the gave a little shove
           Bmaj7  G#m6    Dbm7  F#7  Bmaj7
and I fell gaily, gladly, madly into love
