Just for the record, here are the chords:

(intro) Fmaj7/F#7/Fmaj7/F#7/
|Fmaj7/Fmaj7/G7/G7
/Gm7/F#7/Fmaj7/F#7|
|Fmaj7/Fmaj7/G7/G7/
Gm7/F#7/Fmaj7/Fmaj7|
(Bridge)
|F#6/F#6/B/B/
F#m9/F#m9/E9/E9/
Gm9/Gm9/F9/F9/
Am7/G#7/Gm7/F#7|
|Fmaj7/Fmaj7/G7/
G7/Gm7/F#7/Fmaj7/Fmaj7|
||:F#7/Fmaj7:||

The A melody plays twice, then the bridge, and back to the A melody,(just like a tin-pan alley song) with a little repeated vamp (F#7-Fmaj7) on the repeating of "She just doesn't see" at the end.

You play the basic bossa nova rhythm (Da-duh dadada-duh Da-duh dada-duh) once for each chord--Have fun!
