ONLY A DREAM IN RIO (James Taylor)

C (add D) D/F# G A7 Bm
More than a distant land,
C (add D) D/F# G A7 Bm
Over a shining sea
C (add D) D/F# G A7 Bm
More than the steaming breeze,
C (add D) D/F# G A7 Bm A
More than the shining eye

D/F# G Em7 A D/F# G

Well they tell me It's only a dream in Rio
Em7 A D/F# G C D/F# G
Nothing could be as sweet as it seems, On this very first day down
D/F# G Em7 A D/F# G
They remind me “ son have you so soon forgotten
Em A7 D/F# G C(add D) D/F# G A#°7 Bm
Often as not it's rotten inside And the mask soon slips away ''

Strange taste of a tropical fruit, Romantic language of the portuguese
Em9 Gmaj7 A#°7 Bm C D/F# G A#°7 Bm7
Melody on a wooden flute, Samba floating in the summer breeze (float on…)

Oh what a night, wonderful one in a million night, Frozen fire brazilian stars
C D/F# G A D/F# G
Oh holy southern cross, Later on,
Em7 A D/F# G Em7 A D/F#
take you way downtown in a tin can, I can't come down from the bandstand,
G C D/F# G A#°7
I'm never thrown for such a loss when they say

Quando a nossa mãe acordar, andaremos ao sol,
Em9 Gmaj7 A#°7 Bm C D/F# G A#°7
Quando a nossa mãe acordar, cantará pelo sertão
Bm7 Em9 Gmaj7 A#°7 Bm Em9 Gmaj7 A#°7 Bm
Quando a nossa mãe acordar, todos os filhos saberão
Em9 Gmaj7 A#°7 Bm C D/F# G
Todos os filhos saberão e regozijarão

D/F# G E/G# A D/F# G E/G# A

Caught in the rays of the rising sun, On the run, from the soldier's gun
D/F# G E/G# A D/F# G E/G# A
Shouting out loud from the angry crowd, the mild, the wild and the hungry child

D/F# G Em7 A D/F# G

I'll tell you there's more than a dream in Rio
Em7 A7 D/F# G C(addD) D/F# G
I was there on the very day and my heart came back alive
A D/F# G Em7 A7 D/F# G Em A D/F#
There was more, more than the singing voices, More than the up-turned faces
G C(addD) D/F# G A Bm C(addD) D/F# G A G/B
And more than the shining eyes,
C(addD) D/F# G A G/B C(addD) D/F# G A G/B
But it's more than the shining eyes, More than the steaming breeze,
C(addD) D/F# G A G/B C(addD) D/F# G A G/B
More than the hidden hills more tan the the concrete Christ,
C(addD) D/F# G A G/B C(addD) D/F# G A G/B
More than a distant land, over a shining sea
C(addD) D/F# G A G/B C(addD) D/F# G A G/B
More than the a hungry child, More like another time,
C(addD) D/F# G A G/B C(addD) D/F# G A G/B
Born of a million years, More than a million years
