Lyrics

Moving on the floor now, babe,

you're a (Am7)bird of (C5)paradise.

(Em7)Cherry ice cream smile, I (A)suppose it's very nice.

With a (Em7)step to your left and a (C)flick to the right,

you catch that mirror way out (C5)west.

(Em)You know you're (C)something special and you (A)look like you're the (C5)best.

(E)Her name is (B)Rio and she (D)dances on the sand,

(E)just like that (B)river twisting (D)through a dusty land.

(E)And when she (B)shines, she really shows you all she (A)can.

(E)Oh, Rio, (B)Rio, dance (D)across the Rio

(A5)Grande.

(Em7)I've seen you on the (C)beach and I've seen you on (C5)TV,

(Em)two of a billion stars.

(C5)It means so (Em7)much to me,

like a birthday or a pretty view.

(Em)But then, I'm (C)sure that you (A)know it's just for you.

(A5)Grande.

(Em7)Hey now, woo, look at that.

Did he nearly run you down?

At the (Em)end of the drive the (C)lawmen arrive.

(A)You make me feel a live,

a live, a live.

(C)I'll take my chance,

'cause (Cmaj13)luck is on my (Em)side or something.

I (C)know what you're thinking.

I'll (A)tell you something:

I (C)know what you're thinking.

(E)Her name is (B)Rio and she (D)dances on the sand,

(E)just like that (B)river twists a (D)cross the dusty land.

(E)And when she shines, she really shows you all she (A)can.

(E)Oh, Rio, (B)Rio, dance a (D)cross the Rio (A5)Grande.

(E)Her name is (B)Rio;

she don't (D)need to understand.

(E)And I might (B)find her if I'm (D)look ing like I can.

(E)Oh, Rio, Rio, hear them shout a cross the (A)land,

(E)the mountains (B)in the north down (D)to the Rio

(A5)Grande. Grande.
