( D5 / E5 / A5 / B5 / C#5 )
More than a distant land, Over a shining sea
More than the steaming green, More than the shining eyes
E5 / A5 / F#5 / B5 / E5 / A5 / F#5
Well they tell me It?s only a dream in Rio
B5 E5 A5 D5 E5 A5
Nothing could be as sweet as it seems, On this very first day down
B5 / E5 / A5 / F#5 / B5 / E5 / A5
They remind me ? son have you so soon forgotten
F#5 B5 E5 A5 D5 / E5 / A5 / G#5 / C#5
Often as not it?s rotten inside And the mask soon slips away ??
F#5 A5 G#5 C#5 F#5 A5 G#5
Strange taste of a tropical fruit, Romantic language of the portuguese
C#5 / F#5 / A5 / G#5 C#5 D5 E5 A5 / G#5 / C#5
Melody on a wooden flute, Samba floating in the summer breeze
E5 A5 F#5 B5 F#5 B5
It?s allright you can stay asleep, you can close your eyes
G#5 C#5 D5 B5 E5 C#5 F#5 A5 B5
You can trust the people of paradise, To call your keeper and tender your goodbyes
E5 A5 F#5 B5 E5 / A5 / F#5 / B5 / E5 / A5
Oh what a night wonderful one in a million, Frozen fire brazilian stars
D5 E5 A5 B5 E5 A5 F#5 B5 E5
Oh holy southern cross, Later on take me way downtown in a tin can
A5 / F#5 / B5 E5 A5 D5 E5 A5 G#5
I can?t come down from the bandstand, I'm never thown for such a loss when they say
C#5 / F#5 / A5 / G#5 / C#5 / F#5 / A5 / G#5 D5 / E5 / A5 / G#5
Qdo a nossa m?e acordar, andaremos ao sol, Qdo ... acordar, cantar? pelo sert?o
Qdo ... acordar, todos os filhos saber?o
G#5 / C#5 / D5 / E5 / A5
Todos os filhos saber?o e regozijar?o
( E5 A5 F#5 B5 )
Caught in the rays of rising sun, On the run, from the soldier?s gun
Shouting out loud from the angry crowd, the mild, the wild and the hungry child
E5 A5 F#5 B5 E5 / A5 / F#5
I?ll tell you there?s more than dream in Rio
B5 E5 A5 D5 E5 A5
I was there on the very day and my heart came back alive
B5 E5 A5 F#5 B5 E5 / A5 / F#5 / B5 / E5
There was more, more than the singing voices, More than the up turned faces
A5 D5 E5 / A5 / B5 / C#5 / B5 / C#5 / D5 E5 A5 / B5 / C#5
And more than the shining eyes, But it?s more than the shining eye
More than the steaming green, More than the hidden hills
A5 / B5 C#5 / D5 / E5 / A5 /B5 / C#5
More than the concret christ, More than a distant land, over a shining sea
( D5 / E5 / A5 / B5 / C#5 )
More than the a hungry child, More like another time, Born of a million years, More than a million years
