[Intro]
Am    Dm    Am    Em  Dm Am
 
 
[Verse 1]
Am
Rio de Janeiro
Am
Hot wind of brazilian nights
Dm
Rio de Janeiro
                  Am                             Em
I tip my sombrero on a tan girl in the moonlight
                              Dm
Their close encounters make a man
Am
Feel just right
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am
Rio de Janeiro
Am
The steamy place that you are
Dm
Rio de Janeiro
                           Am
I've come to love you from afar
   Em                 Dm
To touch the water of your sea
             Am
Feel your sensuality
Am
Walk your boulevards
Em
Sao Paulo, Brazilia
Am
I've been there before
Em                         Am
They make me think of just a girl next door
Em                   Am
They don't have your sexual groove
Dm       Em              Am
Rio, Rio puts me in that mood
 
 
[Verse 3]
Am
Rio de Janeiro
Am
Your sultry rythms get me up
Dm
Rio de Janeiro
                               Am   Em
If I could drink from your cup
Em
I need a shot
Dm
Your pulse is hot
                         Am
Rio, Rio you're so corrupt

Dm   Am
 
 
[Bridge]
Em                     Am
I'm just a lonely caballero
Em                        Am
I'm just a lonely, lonely man
Em                     Am
I'm just a lonely caballero
Dm        Em              Am
Tryin' to make it to your land

Rio de Janeiro
Dm             Am  Em
Rio de Janeiro
                           Dm
To touch the water of your sea

Feel your sensuality
Am
Walk your boulevards
