Am7        D7   Am7
 A batucada surgiu
       D7       Am7
Nem um branco ficou

Que nasceu só sem cor
Em7       Am7
Cheio de amor

[Bridge]
         Dm7
E vai vivendo
        G7        Cmaj7
Vendo a vida terminar

Chorando tanto
                   
Por quem nunca pôde
 E+  E  Am7
 amar

[Verse 3]
         D7   Am7
Mas a vida se vai
       D7      Am7
E é preciso sambar
      D7        Dm7
Fazer samba é viver
Em7       Am7
E não morrer . .

These are The Waters Of March Chords by Sérgio Mendes & Brasil \’77 on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

[Intro]
F/Eb D7/C B7/A G#m  Em
Ebm  F Emaj7  Em6   B


[Verse 1]    
A stick, a stone, 
it\'s the end of 
    G#m
the road
It\'s the rest 
          Em
of a stump, it\'s 
              B
a little alone
It\'s a sliver of 
F7  
glass, it is life, 
            Em6
it\'s the sun
It is night, 
      Em  
it is death, 
it\'s a trap, it\'s 
     B
a gun


[Verse 2]
The oak when it 
F#m7 
blooms, a 
                C#7
fox in the brush
The knot in the 
Em
wood, the 
          B
song of a thrush
The will of the 

wind, a F#m7 
         Fdim
cliff, a fall
A scratch, a 
    Em   
lump, it is 
              B
nothing at all
It\'s the wind 
blowing 
Bm7    
free, it\'s the 
end 
       Fdim
of the slope
It\'s a beam, it\'s 
  Em   
a void, 
it\'s a hunch, 
       B
it\'s a hope


[Chorus]
And the river
 bank 
A    
talks of the 
B7 
waters 
   C#
of March
It\'s the end of 
    Em6 
the strain, it\'s 
    Em          B
the joy in your heart

[Verse 3]
The foot, the 
Bm7
ground,
 the 
              G#dim
flesh and the bone
The beat of the 
Gm7   
road, a 
            B
slingshot\'s stone
A fish, a 
     F#m7        C#
flash, a silvery glow
           Em   
A fight, a bet, 
               B
the range of a bow


[Verse 4]
The bed of 
    F#m7  
the well, 
the 
           C#7
end of the line
The dismay in the 
Em6   
face, it\'s a 
             B
loss, it\'s a find
           F#m7     
A spear, a spike, a 
        G#dim
point, a nail
              Gm    
A drip, a drop, the 
           B
end of the tale


[Verse 5]
A truckload of 
F#m7   
bricks in the 
             C#7
soft morning light
The sound of a 
Em   
shot in the 
            B
dead of the night
          F#m7
A mile, a must, a 
B7  
thrust,
   C#
 a bump,
It\'s a girl,
 it\'s a 
Em    
rhyme, it\'s 
  Em7            
a cold, it\'s the 
B
mumps


[Verse 6]
The plan of the 
F#m7 
house, the 
        C#7
body in bed
And the car that 
    Em  
got stuck, 
it\'s the mud, it\'s 
    B
the mud
           F#m7     
A float, a drift, a 
B7        C#7
flight, a wing
  Fdim    Em         
A hawk, a quail, the 
           B/F#
promise of spring

[Chorus]
And the river bank
 F#m7 
 talks of 
    B7        C#7/F
the waters of March
It\'s the promise 
   Em  
of life, 
it\'s the joy in 
     B
your heart


[Interlude]
F/Eb D7/C B7/A G#m Em
Ebm  F Emaj7  Em6  B

[Verse 7]
                B    
A snake, a stick, it 
               G#m
is John, it is Joe
It\'s a thorn on your 
C#dim          
hand and a cut 
        B
in your toe
A point, a grain, 
         C#
a bee, a bite
           Em     A   
A blink, a buzzard, a 
sudden stroke 
        B
of night


[Verse 8]
              Bm         
A pass in the mountains, 
              C#7/B
a horse and a mule
In the distance the 
Em 
shelves 
rode three shadows 
   B
of blue


[Chorus]
And the river bank 
Bm7 
talks of the 
          C#7
waters of March
It\'s the promise 
   C 
of life in 
your heart, in 
     B
your heart


[Verse 9]
           B/A    
A stick, a stone, 
               G#m
the end of the road
              G      
The edge of a log, a 
         B
lonesome road
            F7     
A sliver of glass, 
            Emaj7
a life, the sun
           Em     
A knife, a death, 
               B
the end of the run


[Outro]
And the river bank 
F#m7 
talks of 
    B7        C#
the waters of March
It\'s the end of 
    Em  
all strain, 
it\'s the joy in 
     B
your heart
F#m7    C#/B   Em
