Elena's Bossa - variations?

HotTinRoof

How are you guys playing this Elena?
I'm sorry, I am going to slaughter this grill, not looking at rhythm just the chords.

I play the version tabbed by Ben Robertson:

Intro:
Am | F | E7 | Am
A Section
Am | F | E7 | Am | E7 (A7 2nd time)
B Section
Dm | G7 | C | F | Bm7b5 | E7 | Am | A7 (E7 end time)

In iReal b tho I see:
A section
Am | F (with a C underneath?) | E7 | Am |
B Section:
Dm7 | G7 | Cdom7 | Fdom7 | Bm7b5 | E7

I see the embellishments on the C and F in the B section, however the C in the A section?

Ben's version looks to be what Jeff is playing here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... DRg#t=162s

If the video is too small for you to tell what voicings he is using, let me know and I can post them. Gonzalo is pretty specific about particular voicings, so this is probably the definitive way to do it.

Ah, thanks man. MUCH appreciated!

Il Trovatore

That is the way its tabbed out for the DC lesson so I imagine its the "correct" way to play it.

Il Trovatore, thank you. This question of variation and right vs wrong is the only issue I'm having with the iReal b GJ songs. I plan to create my own song playlist and transcribe my grills from Gonzalo's Youtube page, DCs, and DIJ to avoid any confusion come DIJ.
