I really enjoy singing the portuguese lyrics over the arrangement used by Astrud Gilberto, but couldn't find the exact chords -- so here they are!

Chords

[Intro]
Amaj7 Gmaj7 Sky, so vast is the sky,
Amaj7 Gmaj7 with far away clouds just wandering by
F#maj7 D#m7 Where do they go?
G#m9 C#13b9 Oh I don't know, don't know
Amaj7 Gmaj7 Wind that speaks to the leaves,
Amaj7 Gmaj7 telling stories that no one believes
F#maj7 D#m7 Stories of love
G#m9 C#13b9 belong to you, and me
[Verse]
A G Oh, Dindi
Amaj7 Edim If I only had words I would say
Edim D6sus2/A all the beautiful things that I see
Esus/F when you're with me
Amaj7 Em7 oh, my Dindi
Amaj7 Gmaj7 Oh, Dindi
Amaj7 Edim/A Like the song of the wind in the trees,
D69/A that's how my heart is singing Dindi,
Dm69/A happy, Dindi
Amaj7 when you're with me
D#m7b5 G#7b13 G#7
[Bridge]
C#m7 Am6 I love you more each day,
C#m7 yes I do,
Am6 yes I
C#m7 F#7b13 do
Bm7 Gm6 I'd let you go away,
Bm7 if you'll take
Gm6 me with
Bm7 E7 you
[Verse]
Amaj7 Gmaj7 Don't you know, Dindi
Amaj7 Gdim/A I'd be running and searching for you,
D69/A like a river that can't find the sea,
Dm6/A that would be me without
Amaj7 you, my Dindi
[Outro]
Amaj7 Edim/A D#m7b5 (la di da da)
Dm6 That would be me
Amaj9 Without you my Dindi
