Title: "Corcovado"
English Title: Quiet Night of Quiet Stars
Composer: Antonio Carlos Jobim
Transcriber: Doug Nickerson

I derived this version from a recording of Charlie
Byrd playing Bossa. I also have watched Charlie play
this piece at a small concert and 
tried to verify some of the chord positions, as much
as was possible. 

Two positions are shown for some of the chords, some
are easier than others, please take your pick.

Playing tip: Since the chords include some muted
strings (string that are not played, 'x') the chords
shown could be best played with the fingers, or a pick
and fingers.

Don't be afraid to play this piece slowly.

Legend
Ma7 = major 7  - major chord with an added major
seventh...
min7 = minor chord with a (minor) seventh
min = minor chord without a seventh
dim7 = diminished seventh chord
x = string not played for the chord
Key: C minor (ends on C minor)
Meter: 4/4 
Tempo: slow to moderate

Bar lines are  indicated by (|)
