[Intro]
Csus2 D/F# G A G/B Csus2
More than a distant land
D/F# G A G/B Csus2
over a shining sea
D/F# G A G/B Csus2
More than the steaming breeze
D/F# G A
More than the shining eyes
[Verse 1]
D/F# G
Well they tell me
Em7 A D/F# G
It's only a dream in Rio
Em7 A D/F# G
Nothing could be as sweet as it seems
Csus2 D/F# G A
On this very first day down
D/F# G
They remind me,
Em7 A D/F# G
Or have you so soon forgotten?
Em7 A D/F# G
Often as not it's rotten inside
Csus2 D/F# G A#dim7 Bm7
And the mask soon slips away
Em9 Gmaj7 A#dim7 Bm7
Strange taste of a tropical fruit
Em9 Gmaj7 A#dim7 Bm7
Romantic language of the Portuguese
Em9 Gmaj7 A#dim7 Bm7
Melody on a wooden flute
C D/F# G A#dim7 Bm7
Samba floating in the summer breeze, take it easy
[Interlude]
Em9 Gmaj7 A#dim7 Bm7 Em9 Gmaj7 A#dim7 Bm7
Em9 Gmaj7 A#dim7 Bm7 C D/F# G
[Bridge]
D/F# G E/G# A
It's all right, you can stay asleep
E/G# A
You can close your eyes
A#dim7 Bm7 Csus2 A/C#
You can trust the people of paradise
D B/D# Em7 Gmaj7 Asus4
To call your keeper and tender your good-byes
[Verse 2]
D/F# G
Oh, what a night,
Em7 A D/F# G
wonderful one in a million
Em7 A D/F# G
frozen fire Brazilian stars
Csus2 D/F# G A D/F# G
Oh, holy Southern Cross, later on
Em7 A D/F# G
Take me way downtown in a tin can. I
Em7 A D/F#
Can't come down from the bandstand
G Csus2 D/F# G A#dim7
And I'm never thrown for such a loss when they say:
[Chorus]
Bm7 Em9 Gmaj7 A#dim7 Bm7
Quando a nossa mãe acordar
Em9 Gmaj7 A#dim7 Bm7
Andaremos ao sol
Em9 Gmaj7 A#dim7 Bm7
Quando a nossa mãe acordar
C D/F# G A#dim7 Bm7
Cantará pelos sertão
Em9 Gmaj7 A#dim7 Bm7
Quando a nossa mãe acordar
Em9 Gmaj7 A#dim7 Bm7
Todos os filhos saberão
Em9 Gmaj7 A#dim7 Bm7
Todos os filhos saberão
C D/F# G
E regozijarão
[Verse 3]
D/F# G E/G# A
Caught in the rays of the rising sun
E/G# G D/F# A
On the run from the soldier's gun
D/F# G E/G# A
Shouting out loud from the angry crowd
D/F# G E/G# A
The mild the wild and the hungry child
D/F# G Em7 A D/F# G
I'll tell you there's more than a dream in Rio
Em7 A D/F# G
I was there on the very day
Csus2 D/F# G A
And my heart came back alive
D/F# G Em7 A D/F# G
There was more, more than the singing voices
Em7 A D/F# G
More than the upturned faces
Csus2 D/F# G A Bm7 Csus2 D/F# G A G/B
More than the shining eyes
[Outro]
Csus2 G A G/B Csus2
But it's more than the shining eyes
D/F# G A G/B Csus2
More than the steaming breeze
D/F# G A G/B Csus2
More than the hidden hills
D/F# G A G/B Csus2
More than the concrete Christ
D/F# G A G/B Csus2
More than a distant land
D/F# G A G/B Csus2
Over a shining sea
D/F# G A G/B Csus2
More than a hungry child
D/F# G A G/B Csus2
More like another time
D/F# G A G/B Csus2
Born of a million years
D/F# G A G/B Csus2
More than a million years
D/F# G A G/B Csus2
D/F# G A G/B Csus2
D/F# G A G/B Csus2
