Key:
Dbm7 C7 This is just a little samba,
B7/4 Bb7/-5 Built upon a single note
Dbm7 C7 Other notes are bound to follow,
B7/4 Bb7/-5 But the root is still that note
Em7/9 A7/+5 Now this new one is the consequence,
Dmaj7 Dm7 G7 Of the one we've just been through
Dbm7 C7 B7/4 Bb7/-5 A6/9 As I'm bound to be the unavoidable consequence of you
Continues after the ad
Dm7 G7 There's so many people who can talk
Cmaj7 And talk and talk and just say nothing, Or nearly nothing
Cm7 F7 I have used up all the scale I know,
Bbmaj7 And at the end I've come to nothing,
Bdim Bb7/-5 Or nearly no.....thing
Dbm7 C7 So I came back to my first note,
B7/4 Bb7/-5 As I must come back to you
Dbm7 C7 I will pour into that one note,
B7/4 Bb7/-5 All the love I feel for you
Em7/9 A7/+5 Anyone who wants the whole show,
Dmaj7 Dm7 G7 Re mi fa sol la si do
C6 B7 He will find himself with no show,
Bbmaj7 A7 Better play the note you know
