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.

Here is the song (sorry I messed up my first post):

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.

Hello,

I did a little different

Corcovado by Antonio-Carlos Jobim

Corcovado - Antônio Carlos Jobim
:D

Corcovado 1 - Antonio-Carlos Jobim

Corcovado - Antonio-Carlos Jobim

This version includes the intro, interlude and ending.

Taken from an album:
The Best Of Antonio Carlos Jobim, where Tom Jobim sings in English.

Corcovado (incl- Interlude) - Antonio-Carlos Jobim

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?

Corcovado - Antonio Carlos Jobim (1963)
https://youtu.be/nM6jR-GGDgA

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.

Corcovado (Getz/Gilberto) - Antonio-Carlos Jobim

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
:))BOO

Corcovado MH 1 - Antonio-Carlos Jobim

Right so obviously it’s for a singer.… That’s why the different key… Also it’s her accompanist chart so I just inputted exactly what he had written… I mentioned to him what’s up with the repeat at the very end and not a codesign… He got mad at me so I dropped it but I put in the coda but left his repeat.

Still I think this post belongs where I put it because the coding people might be interested into why it did this

Applies equally to all platforms. Not just iOS.
More folks will search Corcovado than “strange behavior” and having the charts all over the forums clutters the search results.
Interesting changes too.
Much of the song is in the relative minor E-, but it resolves to G. If set for E- it screws up the auto ending chord if used.
No big deal.
:))BOB

This song is in a minor key, definitely. I know that there are a few versions that are resolving to the relative major, but if you listen to any version performed by the composer himself (Jobim), you will notice that it never resolves to the relative major. There's not even a single instance of the relative major chord in the entire song! I strongly recommend everyone to listen to the original version performed by Jobim

Hello,
Very common guitar chords in brasilian music such as Corcovado song are G13/-9 or D7/A (no D : A replaces D!) that you can see in
http://www.bossanovaguitar.com/index...corcovado.html (move mouse pointer over symbol on this page to see guitar chord diagram)

yet i'm not able to find those guitar diagrams with ireal pro... even for Em7 i dont find the version of the chord shown on this page.

I also tried this online tool : https://www.oolimo.com/guitarchords/analyze to try other non standard notations of the same chord but unsuccessfully. Is there something i dont understand (already 3 chords i can't find in one famous song) or is this just a well known limitation of ireal pro.
Apparantly it is also not possible to customize our own chords ... right?
Any suggestion?
Best regards

Chord diagrams in iRp are a useful but not comprehensive resource.
Custom, user added diagrams are not currently available.

Fred, you can get the D7/A sound (with no D) in IRP by using F#dim/A (F#dim without the "7")
