Corcovado (Quiet Nights) - Antôni-Carlos Jobim

Since the version included with irealbook doesn't include the intro that you'd find in regular sheet music, here's a version *with* the intro. To save space on the page, I also restructured the flow, i.e. not repeating the chords for section A twice for the ABAC.
The chords in this version also more closely reflect the arrangement Joao Gilberto plays, as that is the style I wanted to mimic.
Finally, I also included the suggested tempo setting In the style name (to remind me when needed). I hope this doesn't screw anything up.
Let me know if you can think of further improvements.

Hello Hans_Jazz, I have moved your thread here. Uploads can go directly into the genre forums here. The support forums are for questions/answers rather than uploading songs. Thanks for your song. Nice chart.

I found two performances on Youtube which, I think, correspond to your chart: one by Tom Jobim https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8xnQZ86fN4, and one by Lisa Ono https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SG9Mj6_o_HY. Your chart is very nice; I would make one suggestion for a change in mm 3-4 of the first ending: | E13 E7b13 | A9 A7b9 | to incorporate the secondary melodic line C# C B Bb.

Is there a lead sheet available that has both the intro and the interlude?

Here's another take on Corcovado, based on the Getz/Gilberto album. I listened carefully to the double bass to find the roots of chords. I heard it going from A to D, to Db, to C, to F. I didn't hear the Fo chord except the intro. I didn't include the intro, it's just one chorus and the ending.

Strange behavior…

Strange behavior…After he plays through the whole song repeating the second time through instead of playing the first ending it repeats to the top.… Any idea why this is?

Strange behavior... on Halloween?
(What a shock!)

I chalk it up to Halloween...

and some incorrect double-bars as well as an unnecessary repeat-bar at the end of C.
I also reset the key to G.

Happy Day of Strange
