Meditation
by Antonio Carlos Jobim
G6In my Gdimloneliness,
When you're G6gone and I'm all by myself,
    Bm7                E7/-9
And I need your caress
Am7I just Cm6think of you,
        Bm7                       E7/-9
And the thought of you holding me near,
         Am7                 D7/9
Makes my loneliness soon disappear
G6Though you're Gdimfar away,
I have G6only to close my eyes,
    Bm7                 E7/-9
And you are back to stay
Am7I just Cm6close my eyes,
        Bm7                      E7/-9
And the sadness that missing you brings
        Am7                         D7/9
Soon is gone and this heart of mine sings
Cmaj7Yes I  Cm6love you so,
    Bm7            E7/-9         Am7   F#7/+5
And that for me is all I need to know
G6I will Gdimwait for you,
Til the G6sun falls from out of the sky,
    Bm7                E7/-9
For what else can I do
Am7I will Cm6wait for you
    Bm7         E7/-9           Am7
Meditating, how sweet life will be,
D6When you Adimcome back to G6me
