These are good for a chord melody as they keep the F or Bb melody in the top voice while the bass decends

However for comping.....

There are some other guys here that are heavy into bossa and may have some nice comp changes. (YOu guys know who you are) Hopefully they'll post some of theirs. (Yes Randall I mean you)

notes:
in the original, measure 13 has two chords, and not measure 15--the same chords are just spread differently.
second chord in the penultimate measure is fanciful. second chord in the last measure is for repeats. listen to recordings for proper way to end (last time).
