I noticed something. When people who are not Portuguese-speaking or learned Portuguese try to pronounce the word saudade, they usually mess up the pronunciation ever so slightly. However, once they listen to the song, they pronounce saudade perfectly. I don't think it's only because they heard the correction pronunciation when Maro sings it. I think it's aside from hearing the correct pronunciation, the listener grasps the spirit of meaning of the word, which can be hard to translate into one word in another language - maybe. You certainly caught the spirit of the word in your cover. Well done. 😀😀😀
Thanks! I doubt they’re the official chords, but I’m using these, with maybe a little variation: Capo 3 (all chords relative to capo) Verse: C, C/B, Am7 F, G, Am7 Chorus: F, G, Am7 Bridge: Dm, Csus2, G/B Bb*, F C/B = 0-2-x-0-1-0 Csus2 = x-3-x-0-3-3 G/B = x-2-x-0-3-3 Bb* = 0-1-x-0-3-3
