Music: Antônio Carlos Jobim (1959)
English lyrics: Jon Hendricks and Jessie Cavanaugh
It is interesting to note that Frank Sinatra sings another version of Desafinado, 
with  different lyrics (by Gene Lees) over the same melody: "Slightly out of Tune / Off Key".
Tom Jobim's original is written in F. I think it is easier to play it in F on the guitar.
Ella version (1962) is in Eb. So please transose -2 if you wish to sing exactly like Ella.

[Verse 1]
Fmaj7                         G7(b5)
  Love is like a never-ending melody
Gm7             C9            Am7b5  D7b9
  Poets have compared it to a symphony
  Gm7         A7b9          Dmaj9           D7b9
A symphony conducted by the lighting of the moon
G7                        Gbmaj7          Gb7(b5)
  But our song of love is slightly out of tune
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7                             G7(b5)
  Once your kisses raised me to a fever pitch
Gm7             C9              Am7b5   D7b9
  Now the orchestration doesn't seem so rich
Gm7                A7(#5)      Dm11    Dm7     E7
Seems to me you've changed the tune we used to sing
[Bridge]
Amaj7            Ab7(#5) G13         Gb7
  Like the bossa nova,   love should swing
   Amaj7        Bbdim7    Bm11             E7
We used to harmonize, two souls in perfect time
Amaj7             Am9               Bm11             Bb7(b5)
  Now the song is diff'rent and the words don't even rhyme
       Cmaj7          Dbdim7     Dm7                 G13
'Cause you forgot the melody our hearts would always croon
Gm7           Ebm6     Ab9          Gm7             C7b9
  And so what good's a heart that's slightly out of tune
[Verse 3]
Fmaj7                                G7(b5)
  Tune your heart to mine the way it used to be
Gm7               C7          Am7b5          D7b9
  Join with me in harmony and sing a song of loving
      Bbmaj7          Bbm6   Am7             Adim7
We're bound to get in tune, again before too long
         G7
There'll be no desafinado
          Gbmaj7
When your heart belongs to me completely
     G7             Gm7             C7
Then you won't be   slightly out of tune
       Fmaj7  C7b9      Fmaj7
You'll sing  along with me.
[Outro]
         G7
There'll be no desafinado
          Gbmaj7
When your heart belongs to me completely
     G7             Gm7             C7
Then you won't be   slightly out of tune
       Fmaj7  C7b9      Fmaj7
You'll sing  along with me.
F6      C7b9        Fmaj7
Sing   along   with me //
F6      C7b9        Fmaj7      F
Sing   along   with me.
