Chords

One Note Samba (Samba de Uma Nota So) A uniquely beautiful song with interesting chords. Play them with my chord forms and the first (e) string will not be used at all. The “one note” remains ringing through most of the changes.

[Verse]
Bm7                    Bb7
This is just a little samba

      D7sus          D7b5
built upon a single note

Bm7                      Bb7
Other notes are bound to follow

        D7sus              D7b5
but the root is still that note

G7sus                G7b5
Now this new one is the consequence

       C6                  F9
of the one we've just been through

Bm7                    Bb7
As I'm bound to be the unavoidable

D7sus  D7b5     G6
consequence of you
[Bridge]
Cm7                            F7/C
There's so many people who can talk and talk and talk

F7           Bbmaj7
And just say nothing or nearly nothing

Bbm7                           Eb7/Bb
I have used up all the scale I know and at the end I've come

   Abmaj7     D7sus  D7b5
To nothing, or nearly nothing
[Verse]
Bm7                  Bb7
So I come back to my first note

   D7sus               D7b5
as I must come back to you

Bm7                  Bb7
I will pour into that one note

   D7sus               D7b5
all the love I feel for you

G7sus                G7b5        C6                F9
Anyone who wants the whole show -re-mi-fa-so-la-si-do

Bm7                  Bb7
He will find himself with no show

   D7sus        D7b5     G6
Better play the note you know

[Instrumental]
