A good skill for you to develop, would be to learn to play it by ear (you could write it down, too....if you must!).

With a simple google search, I came up with this. You can transpose it in a variety of ways.

To get this into the key of Bb, read it as if it were in bass clef in the key of Bb (i.e. assume 2 flats). Change any sharp accidentals to naturals.

By the way, I'm looking for an arrangement of the lead for the Jobim "One Note Samba"...

A church hymnal will most likely have it included -- transpose from treble to bass clef.

Visit your local library -- I'd bet you lunch that you'll find it there, somewhere -- probably also in treble clef, concert pitch.

Good luck,

... or is this part of the talent contest to see how you go about getting it?
