[INTRO]

[Csus2]More than a di[D/F#]stant l[G]and [A] [G/B] [Csus2]
over a [D/F#]shining s[G]ea [A] [G/B] [Csus2]
More than the [D/F#]steaming b[G]reeze[A] [G/B] [Csus2]
More than the [D/F#]shining e[G]yes [A]

[VERSE 1]

Well they tel[D/F#]l me [G]
It's [Em7]only a [A]dream in R[D/F#]io [G]
[Em7]Nothing could [A]be as s[D/F#]weet as it s[G]eems
On this [Csus2]very fi[D/F#]rst day d[G]own [A]
They rem[D/F#]ind me,[G]
Or h[Em7]ave you s[A]o soon for[D/F#]gotten? [G]
Of[Em7]ten as [A]not it's [D/F#]rotten ins[G]ide
And the mas[Csus2]k soon s[D/F#]lips aw[G]ay [A#dim7] [Bm7]
Strang[Em9]e taste of a [Gmaj7]tropical f[A#dim7]ruit [Bm7]
Romantic la[Em9]nguage o[Gmaj7]f the Portugu[A#dim7]ese [Bm7]
Melo[Em9]dy on a [Gmaj7]wooden fl[A#dim7]ute [Bm7]
Samba fl[C]oating in the s[D/F#]ummer br[G]eeze[A#dim7] , take i[Bm7]t easy

[INTERLUDE]

[Em9] [Gmaj7] [A#dim7] [Bm7] [C] [D/F#] [G]

[BRIDGE]

[D/F#]It's all [G]right, you can [E/G#]stay asl[A]eep
You can c[E/G#]lose your e[A]yes
You can t[A#dim7]rust the p[Bm7]eople of[Csus2] paradi[A/C#]se
To [D]call your [B/D#]keeper and [Em7]tender [Gmaj7]your good[Asus4] -byes

[VERSE 2]

Oh,[D/F#] what a [G]night,
won[Em7]derful o[A]ne in [D/F#]a million [G]
[Em7]frozen [A]fire Braz[D/F#]ilian st[G]ars
Oh,[Csus2] holy S[D/F#]outhern Cr[G]oss,[A] later on [D/F#] [G]
Take me wa[Em7]y downt[A]own in a[D/F#] tin can. [G]I
Can't[Em7] come d[A]own from the[D/F#] bandstand
And[G] I'm never t[Csus2]hrown f[D/F#]or such a lo[G]ss [A#dim7]when they say:

[CHORUS]

[Bm7]Quando[Em9] a noss[Gmaj7]a mãe ac[A#dim7]ordar [Bm7]
[Em9]Anda[Gmaj7]remos [A#dim7]ao sol [Bm7]
Quando[Em9] a nos[Gmaj7]sa mãe ac[A#dim7]ordar [Bm7]
Cantar[C]á p[D/F#]elos ser[G]tão[A#dim7] [Bm7]
Quando [Em9]a nos[Gmaj7]sa mãe [A#dim7]acordar [Bm7]
To[Em9]dos os [Gmaj7]filhos sa[A#dim7]berão [Bm7]
To[Em9]dos os [Gmaj7]filhos sa[A#dim7]berão [Bm7]
[C]E re[D/F#]gozijar[G]ão

[VERSE 3]

[D/F#]Caught in the [G]rays of the [E/G#]rising [A]sun
[E/G#]On the [G]run from the [D/F#]soldier's [A]gun
[D/F#]Shouting out[G] loud from [E/G#]the angry c[A]rowd
The mil[D/F#]d the w[G]ild and the [E/G#]hungry chil[A]d
I'll [D/F#]tell y[G]ou there's [Em7]more than a [A]dream in [D/F#]Rio [G]
[Em7]I was [A]there on the[D/F#] very d[G]ay
And my [Csus2]heart came [D/F#]back al[G]ive [A]
There was[D/F#] more,[G] mo[Em7]re than the[A] singing [D/F#]voices [G]
[Em7]More than the[A] upturned [D/F#]faces [G]
Mo[Csus2]re than the[D/F#] shining eyes [G] [A] [Bm7] [Csus2] [D/F#] [G] [A] [G/B]

[OUTRO]

But it's [Csus2]more than the shining ey[G]es [A] [G/B] [Csus2]
More than the s[D/F#]teaming b[G]reeze [A] [G/B] [Csus2]
More than the h[D/F#]idden hi[G]lls [A] [G/B] [Csus2]
More than the c[D/F#]oncrete C[G]hrist [A] [G/B] [Csus2]
More than a d[D/F#]istant la[G]nd [A] [G/B] [Csus2]
Over a[D/F#] shining [G]sea [A] [G/B] [Csus2]
More than a h[D/F#]ungry chi[G]ld [A] [G/B] [Csus2]
More like an[D/F#]other ti[G]me [A] [G/B] [Csus2]
Born of a mi[D/F#]llion yea[G]rs [A] [G/B] [Csus2]
More than a m[D/F#]illion ye[G]ars [A] [G/B] [Csus2]

[D/F#] [G] [A] [G/B] [Csus2]
[D/F#] [G] [A] [G/B] [Csus2]
