Quiet nights (Corcovado) - Jobim

Am6 Abº(b13)
Quiet nights of quiet stars
Abm6
Quiet chords from my guitar
Gm7 C7/9 F7+/5+ F7+
Floating on the silence that surrounds us
Fm7 Bb7/9 C7+
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams
A7/5+ Dm7/9
Quiet walks by quiet streams
G7/13
And a window looking on the mountains
G#m6
And the sea, so lovely
Am6 Abº(b13)

This is where I want to be
Abm6
Here, with you so close to me
Gm7 C7/9 F7+/5+ F7+
Until the final flicker of life's amber
Fm7 Bb7/9 Em7
I who was lost and lonely
A7/5+ Dm7/9
Believing life was only
G7/13
A bitter tragic joke
G7/5+ Em7 A7/5+ Dm7/9
Have found with you
G7/13 G#m6 Am6
The meaning of existence, oh my love!
