Music: Antônio Carlos Jobim (1959)
English lyrics: Jon Hendricks and Jessie Cavanaugh
It is interesting to note that Frank Sinatra sings another version of Desafinado,
with different lyrics (by Gene Lees) over the same melody: "Slightly out of Tune / Off Key".
Tom Jobim's original is written in F. I think it is easier to play it in F on the guitar.
Ella version (1962) is in Eb. So please transose -2 if you wish to sing exactly like Ella.

[Verse 1]
Fmaj7 G7(b5) Love is like a never-ending melody Gm7 C9 Am7b5 D7b9 Poets have compared it to a symphony Gm7 A7b9 Dmaj9 D7b9 A symphony conducted by the lighting of the moon G7 Gbmaj7 Gb7(b5) But our song of love is slightly out of tune
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7 G7(b5) Once your kisses raised me to a fever pitch Gm7 C9 Am7b5 D7b9 Now the orchestration doesn't seem so rich Gm7 A7(#5) Dm11 Dm7 E7 Seems to me you've changed the tune we used to sing
[Bridge]
Amaj7 Ab7(#5) G13 Gb7 Like the bossa nova, love should swing Amaj7 Bbdim7 Bm11 E7 We used to harmonize, two souls in perfect time Amaj7 Am9 Bm11 Bb7(b5) Now the song is diff'rent and the words don't even rhyme Cmaj7 Dbdim7 Dm7 G13 'Cause you forgot the melody our hearts would always croon Gm7 Ebm6 Ab9 Gm7 C7b9 And so what good's a heart that's slightly out of tune
[Verse 3]
Fmaj7 G7(b5) Tune your heart to mine the way it used to be Gm7 C7 Am7b5 D7b9 Join with me in harmony and sing a song of loving Bbmaj7 Bbm6 Am7 Adim7 We're bound to get in tune, again before too long G7 There'll be no desafinado Gbmaj7 When your heart belongs to me completely G7 Gm7 C7 Then you won't be slightly out of tune Fmaj7 C7b9 Fmaj7 You'll sing along with me.
[Outro]
G7 There'll be no desafinado Gbmaj7 When your heart belongs to me completely G7 Gm7 C7 Then you won't be slightly out of tune Fmaj7 C7b9 Fmaj7 You'll sing along with me. F6 C7b9 Fmaj7 Sing along with me // F6 C7b9 Fmaj7 F Sing along with me.
