Lyrics
Whoa, whoa, when my (Eb7sus)baby,
(Eb7)when my (Eb7sus)baby smiles at me,
I go to Rio
(Ab6)de Janeiro.
My, oh, me, oh,
(Eb7)when my (Eb7sus)baby smiles at me I do the (Abmaj7)samba
(Ab6)and la bamba.
Now, I'm (Ab7sus)not the type of person with a passionate persuasion for (Dbmaj7)dancin'
(Db6)or (Gb7sus)romancin', (Gb9)but I (Ab7sus)give in to the rhythm and my feet follow the beating of my heart.
Whoa, whoa, when my (Eb7sus)baby,
(Eb7)when my (Eb7sus)baby smiles at me I go to Rio
(Ab6)de Janeiro.
I'm the sort of fellow,
(Eb7)when my (Eb7sus)baby smiles at me the sun will (Gm7)lighten (C7)up my (Fm)life,
and (Edim)I (Fm7)am (Bb7sus)free at (Bb13)last.
(Eb7sus)What a (Eb13)blast.
(E7sus)Whoa, whoa, when my baby,
(E7)when my (E7sus)baby smiles at me I feel like (Amaj7)Tarzan
(A6)of the jungle.
(F#)There on the hot sand
(E7)and in a (E7sus)bungalow while (E7)monkeys play (Amaj7)above us,
(A6)we'll make (Amaj7)alove, ah.
(A6)Now I'm (A7sus)not the type to let vibrations trigger my imagination easily.
(D6)You know that's (G7sus)just not (G9)me.
But I (A7sus)turn into a tiger ev'ry time I get beside the one I love.
(G#m)Go!
(F#)Come on!
(Gb)Rio, (Ab9)I love you, (Ab6)Rio,
Rio (Bbm)de (Ab)Janeiro.
(Bb7)I'm goin' to Rio.
Whoa, whoa, when my (Ab)free (Bb7)at (Bb13)last.
(Ab)(Free at last.)
(Eb7sus)What a blast.
(What a blast.)
(Bbm)(Cm)Rio (Db)de (D)(Abmaj7)(Bbm)Janeiro.
(Abmaj7)(Bbm)Rio.
Rio!
