Rio
Intro: D

      D                                  Bb

I'm hearing the light from the window

      D                               Cadd9

I'm seeing the sound of the sea

      D                    D/C#                B7

My feet have come loose from their moorings

      G                                  A

I'm feeling quite wonderfully free

         G                          Gm

And I think I will travel to Rio

D              D/C#     B7

Using the music for flight

           G(or Em)                 Gm

There's nothing I know of in Rio

           A                                  D

But it's something to do with the night

      G                      Gm7

It's only a whimsical notion

     D              D/C#  B7

To fly down to Rio tonight

  G(or Em)                          Gm

I probably won't fly down to Rio

A                             D

But, then again, I just might

There's wings to the thought behind fancy
There's wings to the thought behind play
And dancing to rhythms of laughter
Makes laughter the rhythm of rain

And I think I will travel to Rio
Using the music for flight
There's nothing I know of in Rio
But it's something to do with the night
It's only a whimsical notion
To fly down to Rio tonight
I probably won't fly down to Rio
But, then again, I just might

BREAK: ('This is the first call for flight 77 to Rio de Janeiro,
               Now boarding at Gate 17, the first call')

I feel such a sense of well-being
The problems have come to be solved
And what I thought was proper for battle
I see now is proper for love

And I think I will travel to Rio
Using the music for flight
There's nothing that I know of in Rio
But it's something to do with the night
It's only a whimsical notion
To fly down to Rio tonight
I probably won't fly down to Rio
But, then again, I just might

I think I will travel to Rio
Using the music for flight
There's nothing I know of in Rio
But it's something to do with the night
It's only a whimsical notion
To fly down to Rio tonight
I probably won't fly down to Rio
But, then again, I just might
