( 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
